[Intro]
A G D A  A E G  A

[Verse 1]
A              Em                  D             A   Asus2 A
Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
            E                      G         
Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you
A                 Em            D               A   Asus2 A
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
               E             G         GD
I just can't remember who to send it to

[Chorus]
D         Bm                 A   Asus2 A
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
          D                 Bm                  A  Asus2 A
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
          D                   Bm               A     Asus2 A
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
      G                       Em       A   A7
But I always thought that I'd see you again

[Verse 2]
          A                  Em   
Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
              D              A    Asus2 A
You've got to help me make a stand
                   E               G         
You've just got to see me through another day
A         Em            D          A   Asus2 A
My body's aching and my time is at hand
            E           G        GD
And I won't make it any other way

[Chorus]
D             Bm                 A  Asus2 A
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
          D                 Bm                  A  Asus2 A
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
          D                   Bm               A     Asus2 A
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
      G                       Em       A   A7
But I always thought that I'd see you again

[Verse 3]
     A                     Em            D                       A  Asus2 A
Been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun
                    E                     G                    
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around
              A                    Em                D                    A   Asus2 A
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come
                 E                  G                   GD
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground

[Chorus]
D             Bm                 A   Asus2 A
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
          D                 Bm                  A  Asus2 A
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
          D                   Bm               A     Asus2 A
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
      G                       Em                            A   A7
But I always thought that I'd see you, baby, one more time again

[Outro]
            G                Em    A   
Thought I'd see you one more time again
               G                    Em             A         
There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now
            G        G           Em               A              
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you fire and rain, now . . .
