Slow Burn Chords & Lyrics - Judy Collins

[INTRO]
[C] [G] [F] [C] [G] [F] [C]

[VERSE 1]
I had a [G]slow burn [F]for you darling [C]
We were [G]walking by the [F]river [C]
I was [G]young and a [F]fool, darling [C]
I didn't [G]know about [F]forever [C]

[VERSE 2]
We took a [G]train to [F]Vermont, darling [C]
We skied the [G]mountains [F]in the west [C]
And all the [G]while the [F]fire smouldered [C]
I felt it [G]burning in [F]my chest [Eb]

[VERSE 3]
We were [F]walking by the [C]ocean [Eb]
On the [F]coast of Cali[C]fornia [Eb]
I felt that [F]I should tell [C]you something
But then the [F]moment [G]passed [C]

[VERSE 4]
Life went [G]on for us, [F]darling [C]
(I was never very far)
We went [G]our separate [F]ways [C]
(But I had to stay away)
I very [G]seldom thought of [F]you, darling [C]
(Hard to remember)
The past was [G]all a [F]haze [Eb]

[VERSE 5]
Then I [F]saw you in the [C]city [Eb]
(Couldn't believe my eyes)
Your eyes [F]lit up and [C]so did mine [Eb]
(There was so much to say)
We walked to[F]gether by the [C]reservoir [F]
(Hold my hand)
And shared a glass of [G]wine [C]

[VERSE 6]
The time has[G] passed away, [F]darling [C]
I thought the [G]flame was [F]burning out [C]
I had my [G]life to [F]live, darling [C]
Could I let [G]go of any [F]doubt [Eb]

[VERSE 7]
When I [F]saw you that day in the [C]city [Eb]
(Memories floated back)
I suffered [F]such a sur[C]prise [Eb]
(It all was such a surprise)
The fire was [F]lit and the [C]slow burn started [F]
Had it never [G]died [C]

[VERSE 8]
Now there's a [G]slow burn, [F]darling [C]
(Just like there'd been before)
Like a [G]sweet and [F]smoky song [C]
(A longing in our hearts)
And what I [G]didn't know, [F]darling [C]
(Maybe this was meant to be)
Was that your [G]love was [F]never gone

[OUTRO]
I have a [C]slow burn
I have a [Am]slow burn
I have a [G]slow burn
For [C]you
I have a [C]slow burn
I have a [Am]slow burn
I have a [G]slow burn
For [C]you
