Capo 3rd fret
The sky was fallin' and streaked with blood
I heard you callin' me then you disappeared into the dust
Up the stairs into the fire
Yeah, up the stairs into the fire
I need yer kiss ---
But love and duty called you some-place higher
Somewhere up the stairs - into the fire
Chorus:
May yer strength give us strength, may yer faith give us faith
May yer hope give us hope, may yer love give us love
May yer strength give us strength, may yer faith give us faith
May yer hope give us hope, may yer love bring us love
You gave yer love to see 'n fields-a red an' autumn brown
You gave yer love to me an' lay yer young body down
Up the stairs into the fire
Yeah, up the stairs into the fire
I need you near ---
But love and duty called you some-place higher
Somewhere up the stairs - into the fire
Chorus:
May yer strength give us strength, may yer faith give us faith
May yer hope give us hope, may yer love give us love
May yer strength give us strength, may yer faith give us faith
May yer hope give us hope, may yer love give us love
May yer strength give us strength, may yer faith give us faith
May yer hope give us hope, may yer love bring us love
It was dark, too dark to see, you held me in the light you gave
You lay yer hand on me then walked into the darkness of yer smoky grave
Up the stairs into the fire
Yeah, up the stairs into the fire
I need yer kiss ---
But love and duty called you some-place higher
Somewhere up the stairs - into the fire
Chorus:
May yer strength give us strength, may yer faith give us faith
May yer hope give us hope, may yer love give us love
May yer strength give us strength, may yer faith give us faith
May yer hope give us hope, may yer love give us love
May yer strength give us strength, may yer faith give us faith
May yer hope give us hope, may yer love give us love
May yer strength give us strength, may yer faith give us faith
May yer hope give us hope, may yer love give us love
May yer love bring us love
