[G]
Now the flames, they followed [D] Joan of Arc,
[C] As she came [G] riding through the dark,
[A] No moon [D] to keep her armor bright,
[A] No man to get her [G] through this very smoky night.
[D]
[G] She said, I'm [D] tired of the war,
[C] I want the kind of work [G] I had before,
[A] A wedding dress or [D] something white, [A] To wear upon my [G] swollen
[D] appetite.
[A] [D] La la la, la la la, la la la, la [Am] la la, La la la, [C] la la la, la la la, [Am] la [G] la la,
[D] La la la, la la [G] la, la la la, la la la, Well I'm glad to hear you [D] talk this way,
[C] You know I've watched you riding [G] every day,
[A] And something [D] in me yearns to win,
[A] Such a cold [G] and lonesome [D] heroine,
[G] And who are you, [D] she sternly spoke,
[C] To the one [G] beneath the smoke,
[A] Why I'm [D] fire, he replied,
And I [A] love your [G] solitude, I love [D] your pride,
[A] [D] La la la, la la la, la la la, la [Am]
la la, [B] [C] La la la, [A] la [G] la la,
[D] la la la, la [G] la la,
Then fire, [D] make your body cold, [C] I'm gonna give you [G] mine to hold,
[A] Saying [G] this, she [D] climbed inside, [A] To be his one, [G] to be his [D] only bride,
[G] And deep into [D] his fiery heart, [C] He took the dust [G] of Joan of Arc,
[A] And high above [D] the wedding guests, [A] He hung the [G] ashes of her wedding [D] dress,
[A] [D] La la la, la la la, la la la, [Am] la la la,
[C] La la la, la [A] la [G] la,
[D] la la la,
[G]
It was deep into his [D] fiery heart,
[C] He took the dust [G] of Joan of Arc,
[A] And then she clearly [D] understood, [Ab] If [A] he was fire, [G] oh, then she must [D] be wood,
[G] I saw her [D] wince, I saw her cry, [C] I saw the glory [G] in her eye,
[A] Myself, I [D] long for love and light,
[A] But must it come so [G] cruel, and oh so [D] bright,
[A] [D] La la la, la la la, la la la, la [Am] la la, La la la, [C] la la la, la la [Em] la,
