I believe Sufjan plays this song with a piano and mandolin as his main
instruments. I tried my best to match his chords, but.....we ll see. Try
listening to the song for help on picking. Good luck!

Lord, come with fire. Lord, come with fire. Everyones wasting their time
Storing up treasure in vain.
Trusting the pleasure it gives here on earth.

How do you measure its worth? Justice delivers its gift here on earth.
