Burn

Gm


[Verse 1]

    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!"


[Verse 2]
(verse 1 chords)

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;
Continúa después del anuncio
earth was shakin', we stood and 
stared.
When it came no one was spared;
Still I hear "Burn!"


[Chorus]

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



[Verse 3]
(verse 1 chords)

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!"
