The Perfect Song
Verse 1:
G (Root)
Oh, the mountain’s shadow’s sinkin’ low,
D (Dominant)
The fire’s roaring, and the winds sure know.
Em (Minor vi)
Hold fast, my brothers, through the fight,
C (Subdominant) G (Root)
The flames may rise, but we’ve got the light.
Chorus:
G
If it all burns down to ashes,
D
We’ll pour the rye, let the memory flashes.
Em
Side by side, through smoke and dust,
C G
On the mountain’s edge, it’s God we trust.
Verse 2:
G
Smoke rolls high, and thunder roars,
D
We’re standin’ tall like the rugged shores.
Em
If the sky gives way, we’ll face the test,
C G
With a rebel’s heart and the West in our chest.
Verse 3:
C (Subdominant)
Momma’s words still ring so clear,
D
“Hold your ground and face your fear.”
Em
She said, “Life’s a train, it rolls so fast,
C G
But love’s the fire that’ll always last.”
Chorus:
G
If it all burns down to ashes,
D
We’ll pour the rye, let the memory flashes.
Em
Side by side, through smoke and dust,
C G
On the mountain’s edge, it’s God we trust.
Bridge:
Em (Minor vi)
And if this night’s our last goodbye,
C (Subdominant)
Let it ring, let our spirits fly.
G (Root)
From the blaze we rise, a cowboy creed,
D G
Born in fire, it’s all we need.
Verse 4:
G
The sound of trains cuts through the night,
D
A baby cries by lantern light.
Em
And though the fire may take us all,
C G
Their laughter echoes through the halls.
Chorus:
G
If it all burns down to ashes,
D
We’ll pour the rye, let the memory flashes.
Em
Side by side, through smoke and dust,
C G
On the mountain’s edge, it’s God we trust.
Outro:
Em
Now the fire fades, but the mountain stands,
C
We’re still here, with calloused hands.
G
Through the trials of flame, we’ve earned our keep,
D G
In the heart of the hills, our souls still sleep.
This structure keeps the G Major scale as the backbone, offering that rich and melodious base for the melody. The interplay between G, C, D, and Em chords provides the quintessential country vibe. What do you think? 🎶✨
