Fire On The Mountain Chords - Grateful Dead
Fire On The Mountain Chords
B A Long distance runner, what you standin there for? B A Get up, get out, get out of the door B A Your playin cold music on the barroom floor B A Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core. B A There's a dragon with matches that's loose on the town B A Takes a whole pail of water just to cool him down. B A Fire! fire on the mountain! B A Almost ablaze still you don't feel the heat B A It takes all you got just to stay on the beat. B A You say it's a livin, we all gotta eat B A But you're here alone, there's no one to compete. B A If mercys a busness, I wish it for you B A More than just ashes when your dreams come true. B A Fire! fire on the mountain! B A Long distance runner, what you holdin out for? B A Caught in slow motion in a dash for the door. B A The flame from your stage has now spread to the floor B A You gave all you had. why you wanna give more? B A The more that you give, the more it will take B A To the thin line beyond which you really can't fake. B A Fire! fire on the mountain!

About the artist behind Fire On The Mountain Chords:
The Grateful Dead's fans, some of whom followed the band from concert to concert for years, are known as Deadheads and have been renowned for their dedication to the band's music.[1][4] Many fans referred to the band simply as "the Dead". As of 2003, the remaining band members who had been touring under the name "The Other Ones" changed their official group name to "The Dead". Deadheads continue to use the nickname to refer to all versions of the band.[6]
Their musical influences varied widely; in concert recordings or on record albums one can hear psychedelic rock (in the late sixties), the blues, rock nuggets, country-western, bluegrass, country-rock, and although they rarely played jazz music, the band certainly borrowed for their music the kind of long improvisatory sequences that jazz artists such as Charles Mingus and John Coltrane perfected in the 1950s and 1960s. These various influences were distilled into a diverse and psychedelic whole that made the Grateful Dead "the pioneering Godfathers of the jam band world."[7]
