Biography:
Beirut is an American indie-rock and world music band which was originally the solo musical project of Zach Condon (born Zachary Francis Condon in Santa Fe, New Mexico) and later expanded into a band. The band's first performances were in New York, in May 2006, to support the release of their debut album, Gulag Orkestar.
Condon recorded before Beirut was established: when he was fifteen and under the name of Realpeople, he made an electronic record, fashioned after his love for The Magnetic Fields.

[Intro]
C D G C (x4)
[Verse 1]
C D G C
Oh, light a candle's fire, carries our good name
C D G C
What would you ask a campfire, it scares me just the same
C D G C
And you, you've had it all along, an endless need for games
C D G C
Just don't forget, a candle's fire is only just a flame
C D G C
[Verse 2]
C D G C
I hit certain from afar, failed to pull my weight
C D G C
But you were light, we traveled through the fall to arrive at our front gate
C D G C
Tonight we rest beside the fire, a smile upon your face
C D G C
Just don't forget, a candle's fire is only just a flame
C C G G
[Chorus]
Am D G C
If I had known that to carry on that way
Am D G C
It wouldn't show in the creases on your face
Am D G C
If you should go, would you carry on my name?
Am D G C
Just let it blow in the fog of Bishop's Lane
