Loni Chords & Lyrics - Gordon Bok

[INTRO]
[D] [Am] [D] [G] [Am] [D] [G]

[VERSE]
High a[Am]long the John Muir [G]trail, from Whitney [C]toward Star [G]King
Lon and [Am]I set pace to [Em]reach Yosemi[C]te that [D]spring [G]
And like some [Am]dream of Gulli[G]ver, we spied El [C]Capit[G]an
Wild gables, [Am]spires and granite [Em]walls, not shaped by [C]any [D]man [C]
Night fell like talus from the [G]stone and [C]Loni said to [D]me

[CHORUS]
Douse the [C]fire, but [D]keep the [G]flame[G/F#] [Em]
'Til morning [Am]warms old [D]Tuolem[G]ne
Douse the [C]fire, but [D]keep the [G]flame[G/F#] [Em]
'Til morning [Am]warms old [D]Tuolem[G]ne

[VERSE]
[D]Black bear [Am]roamed the tama[G]rack, from Cloud's Rest [C]to Cock's [G]Comb
Where silent [Am]snowmelts filled the [Em]streams that burst and [C]thundered [D]down [C]
And where Tanaya caught the [G]moon, [C]Loni said to [D]me

[CHORUS]
Douse the [C]fire, but [D]keep the [G]flame[G/F#] [Em]
'Til morning [Am]warms old [D]Tuolem[G]ne
Douse the [C]fire, but [D]keep the [G]flame[G/F#] [Em]
'Til morning [Am]warms old [D]Tuolem[G]ne

[VERSE]
[D]From Dogwood [Am]and Sequoia [G]stands, we climbed the [C]Vernal [G]Trail
By Big-leaf, [Am]maple shine with [Em]mist, we scaled the [C]Bridal [D]Veil [C]
And where Half-Dome, the hooded [G]hawk, [C]set her shadow [D]free

[CHORUS]
We doused the [C]fire, but [D]kept the [G]flame[G/F#] [Em]
'Til morning [Am]warms old [D]Tuolem[G]ne
Douse the [C]fire, but [D]keep the [G]flame[G/F#] [Em]
'Til morning [Am]warms old [D]Tuolem[G]ne

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[D] [Am] [D] [G] [Am] [D] [G] [Am] [D]

[VERSE]
Now I know a[Am]round Cathedral [G]Peak, the seasons [C]cloud and [G]clear
And it seems I can't [Am]quite count the [Em]years since Lon and [C]I were [D]there [C]
Still when all the [G]darkness falls, it's [C]Loni close to [D]me

[CHORUS]
Douse the [C]fire, but [D]keep the [G]flame[G/F#] [Em]
'Til morning [Am]warms old [D]Tuolem[G]ne
Douse the [C]fire, but [D]keep the [G]flame[G/F#] [Em]
'Til morning [Am]warms old [D]Tuolem[G]ne
