Burn

Key:  B flat


Intro:  Gm

    Gm
The sky is red, I don't understand;
F/G
past midnight I still see the land.
  Gm
People are sayin' the woman is 
damned,
 C                               
she makes you burn with a wave of 
          Gm
her hand.___
The city's ablaze, the town's on 
fire;
     F/G
the woman's flames are reachin' 
higher.
Gm
We were fools, we called her "liar";
Bb  F  C       Gm     Eb   C    Gm
All I hear is "Burn!"_____________

I didn't believe she was devil's 
sperm;
she said, "Curse you all, you'll 
never learn!
When I leave there's no return!"
The people laughed till she said, 
"Burn!"___
Warning came, no one cared;
earth was shakin', we stood and 
stared.
Continues after the ad
When it came no one was spared;
Still I hear "Burn!"______________

Dm                       Bb
     You know we had no time,
                       Am         Bb
      we could not even try,______
                         Dm      
      You know we had no time.
Bb/D    C/D   Gm


The sky is red, I don't understand;
past midnight, I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is 
damned;
she makes you burn with a wave of 
her hand.
Warning came, no one cared;
earth was shakin, we stood and 
stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"

RIFF SUGGESTION 1: (from Scott 
Hannon (hannon@umbc.edu)):

"Thanks for the post...since the 
guitar riff was omitted, here it is
(from memory, so no guarantee!)
e---------------------------------
b---------------------------------
g------5-3-0-5------3-3--0-5--0-3-
d------5-3-0-5------3-3--0-5--0-3-
a---------------------------------

g|------5-3-0-5----5-3-0---- 
d|------5-3-0-5----5-3-0-3-- 
a|-----------------------3-- 
e|---3-------------------1-- 

"Use pull-offs and 
hammer-ons....this is basically a 
two finger riff."


RIFF SUGGESTION 2:

"Sorry, but I think your riff is 
slightly incorrect. I think this is 
more
accurate:
(also from memory, no guarantees)"

RIFF SUGGESTION 3: (from 
rps92@ecs.soton.ac.uk (Richard 
Swann))

"Well just to give my two cents' 
worth, I think the riff should be 
played
like this:

"...but I know I play a whole load 
of Purple riffs differently to the 
way the
b'stard in black does (I know he 
plays Space Truckin' differently to 
me)"
