Now the flames they followed Joan of Arc
C G
As she came riding through the dark;
A D
No moon to keep her armour bright,
A G D
No man to get her through this dark and smoky night.
G D
She said, I’m tired of the war,
C G
I want the kind of work I had before,
A D
A wedding dress or something white
A G D
To wear upon my swollen appetite.

G D
Well, I’m glad to hear you talk this way,
C G
I’ve watched you riding every day
A D
And there's something in me that yearns to win
A G D
Such a cold, such a lonesome heroine.
(Jennifer)
G D
And who are you? she sternly spoke
C G
To the one beneath the smoke.
(Leonard)
A D
Why, I’m fire, he replied,
A G D
And I love your solitude, I love your pride.

(Jennifer)
G D
Well then fire, make your body cold,
C G
I’m gonna give you mine to hold,
A D
And saying this she climbed inside
A G D
To be his one, to be his only bride.
(Leonard)
G D
Then deep into his fiery heart
C G
He took the dust of Joan of Arc,
A D
And high above all these wedding guests
A G D
He hung the ashes of her lovely wedding dress.
[Dadada...]

(Jennifer)
G D
It was deep into his fiery heart
C G
He took the dust of Joan of Arc,
A D
And then she clearly understood
A G D
If he was fire, oh she must be wood.
(Leonard)
G D
I saw her wince, I saw her cry,
C G
I saw the glory in her eye.
A D
Myself I long for love and light,
A G D
But must it come so cruel, must it be so bright?
