[Intro]
D  Am  D   G   Am   D   G
[Verse]
High aAmlong the John Muir Gtrail, from Whitney Ctoward Star GKing
Lon and AmI set pace to Emreach YosemiCte that DspringG  
And like some Amdream of GulliGver, we spied El CCapitGan
Wild gables, Amspires and granite Emwalls, not shaped by Cany DmanC  
Night fell like talus from the Gstone and CLoni said to Dme
[Chorus]
Douse the Cfire, but Dkeep the GflameG/F#  Em  
'Til morning Amwarms old DTuolemGne
Douse the Cfire, but Dkeep the GflameG/F#  Em  
'Til morning Amwarms old DTuolemGne
[Verse]
DBlack bear Amroamed the tamaGrack, from Cloud's Rest Cto Cock's GComb
Where silent Amsnowmelts filled the Emstreams that burst and Cthundered DdownC  
And where Tanaya caught the Gmoon, CLoni said to Dme
[Chorus]
Douse the Cfire, but Dkeep the GflameG/F#  Em  
'Til morning Amwarms old DTuolemGne
Douse the Cfire, but Dkeep the GflameG/F#  Em  
'Til morning Amwarms old DTuolemGne
[Verse]
DFrom Dogwood Amand Sequoia Gstands, we climbed the CVernal GTrail
By Big-leaf, Ammaple shine with Emmist, we scaled the CBridal DVeilC  
And where Half-Dome, the hooded Ghawk, Cset her shadow Dfree
[Chorus]
We doused the Cfire, but Dkept the GflameG/F#  Em  
'Til morning Amwarms old DTuolemGne
Douse the Cfire, but Dkeep the GflameG/F#  Em  
'Til morning Amwarms old DTuolemGne
[Instrumental]
D  Am  D   G   Am   D   G   Am   D
[Verse]
Now I know aAmround Cathedral GPeak, the seasons Ccloud and Gclear
And it seems I can't Amquite count the Emyears since Lon and CI were DthereC  
Still when all the Gdarkness falls, it's CLoni close to Dme
[Chorus]
Douse the Cfire, but Dkeep the GflameG/F#  Em  
'Til morning Amwarms old DTuolemGne
Douse the Cfire, but Dkeep the GflameG/F#  Em  
'Til morning Amwarms old DTuolemGne

D Am D G Am D G

[Verse]

Am G C G

High along the John Muir trail, from Whitney toward Star King

Am Em C D G

Lon and I set pace to reach Yosemite that spring

Am G C G

And like some dream of Gulliver, we spied El Capitan

Am Em C D C

Wild gables, spires and granite walls, not shaped by any man

G C D

Night fell like talus from the stone and Loni said to me

[Chorus]

C D G G/F# Em

Douse the fire, but keep the flame

Am D G

'Til morning warms old Tuolemne

C D G G/F# Em

Douse the fire, but keep the flame

Am D G

'Til morning warms old Tuolemne

[Verse]

D Am G C G

Black bear roamed the tamarack, from Cloud's Rest to Cock's Comb

Am Em C D C

Where silent snowmelts filled the streams that burst and thundered down

G C D

And where Tanaya caught the moon, Loni said to me

[Chorus]

C D G G/F# Em

Douse the fire, but keep the flame

Am D G

'Til morning warms old Tuolemne

C D G G/F# Em

Douse the fire, but keep the flame

Am D G

'Til morning warms old Tuolemne

[Verse]

D Am G C G

From Dogwood and Sequoia stands, we climbed the Vernal Trail

Am Em C D C

By Big-leaf, maple shine with mist, we scaled the Bridal Veil

G C D

And where Half-Dome, the hooded hawk, set her shadow free

[Chorus]

C D G G/F# Em

We doused the fire, but kept the flame

Am D G

'Til morning warms old Tuolemne

C D G G/F# Em

Douse the fire, but keep the flame

Am D G

'Til morning warms old Tuolemne

[Instrumental]

D Am D G Am D G Am D

[Verse]

Am G C G

Now I know around Cathedral Peak, the seasons cloud and clear

Am Em C D C

And it seems I can't quite count the years since Lon and I were there

G C D

Still when all the darkness falls, it's Loni close to me

[Chorus]

C D G G/F# Em

Douse the fire, but keep the flame

Am D G

'Til morning warms old Tuolemne

C D G G/F# Em

Douse the fire, but keep the flame

Am D G

'Til morning warms old Tuolemne
