My name is Dodge,

then you know that
C
It's written on the chart there,
G

at the foot end of my bed
G
They think that I am blind,
Em
that I can't read it
C
Well, I've read that chart there,
G
D
every word, every word spells death
Em
My confession, I know that's
C
G
the reason that you came

Get it off my chest,

It was August of 49 in North Montana

Lightning struck in the

gates of the mountains
C
I was crew chief at the jump base,

I picked the drop zone,

I watched the circle of the fire down below

C
Fifteen of us jumped,
D
G
above the cold Missouri water
D
Em
I gauged the fire, I'd seen bigger
C
So I ordered them to side hill,
G
D
and we'd fight it from below
G
We'd keep our backs,
Em
to the Missouri river
C
We'd have this one out by morning,
G
D
even if we took it slow.
Em
With the fire crown,
C
G
it jumped the coulee just ahead.
Em
There was no way down,
C
G
D
so we headed for the ridge in stead.
Em
But the fire exploded,
C
and it chased us up that slope ahead.

Flames one step behind,

The sky had turned to red,

death was 50 steps behind
D
G
Em
I don't know why, I just did it
C
I touched a match to waste high grass
G

cause we were running out of time
Em
I shouted to them,
C
G
step inside this fire I've set
Em
You can't make it,
C
this is the only chance you'll get

But they cursed me,
C
G
ran for the rocks above instead

I lay face down and I prayed

The world was burned to ashes,

I worked all that night,

I carried my dead boys to the river,

wondered why was I alive.
