Candle Sneeze

 Candle Sneeze Jan 2021

Chord Talk


Candle sneeze

(Em D)x3 A D

In a valley cast in clover leaves 

Pilgrims too tired to carry on

Settled the town of lazy rock 

Narrow and a road of one


Thatcher roofs and muddied floors 

The wealthiest family could afford

The market lined in stones and sticks 

Chickens of plenty to eat the ticks


The farmer's son, a skinny lad

Sold bushels of beats and corn

The daughter of the candle maker 

Crown of flowers her brow adorn


Every coin for candle

Her father did await 

The smell of bread and pastries sweet

Her stomach groaned and ached


Farmers son never a trip 

Flowers scent his nose did drip

Her golden locks, her freckled nose 

His love for her no one knows


They settled on secret pact

Every week she’d come back

A special crafted candle made

For an ear of corn he would trade


Alone at night, dark and cold

The candle lit, he did hold

A secret scent, the flicker teased

Petals and pollen, made him sneeze


Bb A

Yellow flames engulfed his shed. 

Soon he feared, he’d be dead

The horse it bucked, the donkey ducked,

The rooster crowed, where’s the bucket? No one knows. (Go crazy!)

The cow, the trough, a kick, a thrash. 

Water every where did splash (g pause)


G D

Sound and safe and home in bed. The candle 

                               E

maker's daughter, danced in his head.
