Marysville Lyrics & Chords By Kevin Welch

I am a stranger wherever I go
But I see what I see and I know what I know
The winds of heaven gonna do what they will
They just blew away pretty little Marysville

The people round here did the best they could
They either got caught runnin' or they died where they stood
By the time they saw it coming up over these hills
It was too late for getting out of Marysville

Brothers and sisters, husbands and wives
The fire took one out of every five
Their spirits hover all around us still
Like smoke above the rubble of Marysville

There's only one measure of a woman and man
When troubles all around how tall do you stand
What the devil burns down we will all rebuild
Rise up rise up Marysville

I am a stranger wherever I go
But I see what I see, and I know what I know.
