(Billy Cowsill/Jeffrey Hatcher)





Thanks go out to Tom Hammel for sharing these chords!!


Intro	|D  Bm  |G  A  |D  G  |D

		     D	   G	           D
The embers keep burning long after the fire
		A7			        D
Old memories returning like your voice on the wire
       G		  D     D7	             G
Oh our love's in ashes you're still my one desire
		  D    Bm        G	   A7	    D 	G	D
And the embers keep burning long after the fire

|A7	|	|D  G	|D	|

Unkind words were spoken but we said them in haste
Now two hearts are broken true love is nothing to waste
But my memories are ashes and there's this haunting desire
Cuz the embers keep burning long after the fire

	G		A7	      D
Oh and burn they will, right up until eternity
	      G	                 A					
Not all the fire has burned but I have learned
        D			   G
This flame will reach no higher
			D    Bm  G  A	    D
Still the embers keep burning long after the fire

[Solo – verse chord progression]

Now my memories are ashes that leave this haunting desire
		       D  Bm      G	    A	    D	G
And the embers keep burning long after the fire
		       D  Bm      G	    A	    G	D  A  D
Yes the embers keep burning long after the fire
