[Eb]
There's a painting of [Gm] my grandfather [Ab] on my [Eb] mother's sideboard
[Fm] In the hallway [Cm] of the homestead [Ab] In a special [Bb] place of pride
[Eb] With his bulldogs [Gm] and canaches [Ab] Back in [Eb] 1893
[Ab] In a linen suit [Eb] and a Panama [F] They say [Bb] he looked [Eb] like me
And the story goes [Gm] he came out [Ab] To make a brand [Eb] new start
[Fm] In an effort to [Cm] forget The [Ab] sad affair [Bb] of the heart
[Eb] And with these [Gm] romantic notions [Ab] To the colonies he [Eb] came
[Ab] Where he settled in [Eb] the tropics And [Fm] made his [Bb] fortune grow [Eb] gain
Well let the cane fields burn Let the flames rise
Let the [Ab] politicians and the bankers in the city look up
In wonder at the glow [Eb] in the skies [Bb] Let the cane [Eb] fields burn
Let me feel no pain When [Ab] I've drowned my soul [Eb] in whiskey
[Bb] And danced [Eb] in the flames
There's a photo of [Gm] my parents [Ab] Taken in between [Eb] wars
[Fm] In London, Rome [Cm] or Paris [Ab] I don't know for [Bb] sure
But [Eb] it hangs there in [Gm] the hallway And [Ab] there's one for [Eb] every year
[Ab] Fortunes made [Eb] and fortunes paid [F] For [Bb] champagne [Eb] souvenirs
So let the cane fields burn Let the flames rise
Let the [Ab] politicians and the bankers in the city look up
In wonder at the glow in [Eb] the skies [Bb] Let the cane [Eb] fields burn
Let me feel no pain [Ab] When I've drowned [Eb] my soul in whiskey
[Bb] And danced in [C] the flames
[Cm]
[C] And now they say [Cm] they're gonna take [Eb] this all away from me
[Cm] Because the cane, the homestead, all [Eb] my family history
Well [Cm] tomorrow when the bankers come [Eb] To settle all [Ab] their claims
[Eb] Let the auctioneer open With [Bb] a price for charred [Eb] remains
And let the cane fields burn Let the flames rise
Let the politicians and the bankers [Ab] in the city look up
In wonder [Eb] at the glow in the skies [Bb] Let the cane [Eb] fields burn
Let me feel no pain When [Ab] I've drowned my soul [Eb] in whiskey
[Bb] And danced in [Eb] the flames
Let the cane fields burn Let the flames rise
