[Verse]
 
     Em                             D
In a time when dinosaurs walked the earth
         Em                
When the land was swamp and 
           D
Caves were home
      C                             D
In an age when prize possession was fire
   C                   
To search for landscapes  
          B
Men would roam 
         Em          
Then the tribes they  
                    D
came to steal their fire
        Em          
And the wolves they 
                D
Howled into the night
        C                      D
As they fought a vicious angry battle
   C                            B
To save the power of warmth and light
 
 
[Chorus]
 
B     A  G     A
Drawn by quest for fire
     G        F#  C       Em  B
They searched all through the land
B     A  G     A
Drawn by quest for fire
   G F# C D  Em
Discovery of man
 
 
[Verse]

 
         Em                   
And they thought that when the 
       D
Embers died away
         Em                          D
That the flame of life had burnt and died
       C                             D
Didn't know the sparks that made the fire
     C                         D
Were made by rubbing stick and stone
        Em                  
So they ploughed through the  
                     D
forest and swamps of danger
         Em       
And they fought the 
                    D
Cannibal tribes and beasts
       C                      D
In the search to find another fire
     C                           B
To regain the power of light and heat
 
 
[Chorus]

 
B     A  G     A
Drawn by quest for fire
     G        F#  C       Em  B
They searched all through the land
B     A  G     A
Drawn by quest for fire
   G F# C D  Em
Discovery of man
