Jeffersons Torch

  E                             A
I am born in the reeds, I'm an idea 
of magnitude
  E                           B7
Giving birth to itself ad infinitum
  C#m                            A
I am Jefferson's torch in a bright, 
stellar majesty


[Chorus]
   E                   B          
Oh I'm burning, oh I'm burning, oh
      A
 I'm burning
   C#m                  B         
Yes I'm burning, oh I'm burning, 
        A                E
yes I'm burning for thee


[Verse 2]
      E                        
We were measured in the dark by 
  A
timetabled tragedy
   E                         
There's a real turn of age in 
    B
disaster
     C#m                 
Now I'm firing a well our 
   A
politicians gave to ruin


[Chorus]
  E                    B          
'Till I'm burning, oh I'm burning,
         A
 yes I'm burning
   C#m                 B          
Oh I'm burning, oh I'm burning, 
          A            E
yes I'm burning for thee

       E                         
Now come out from your cups, find

Have a care to fill the vessel of

your heart

Hold me tight through the storms
           A
And the winds of revolution

 oh he's burning for thee
