[Eb] And I take you down [Gm] to the burning ground.
And you change me up and you [Eb] turn it around.
You know when that rains, I'm gonna see you again.
In the morning sun and when the day is done.
And you take my hand and you walk with me.
In some town that feels like eternity.
And I turn the tide, I get up back my pride.
And I'll make you proud when you say it out loud.
When I take you down to the burning ground.
To the [Bb] burning [Eb] ground.
[Bb] To the burning [Eb] ground.
[Bb] To the burning [Eb] ground.
[Bb] To the burning [Eb] ground.
And I take you down by the factory.
And I show you like it has to be.
And you understand how the work get done.
And I pick up the sack in the midday sun.
[Gm] [Eb] And I pull you through by the skin of your teeth.
And I lift the veil to see what's underneath.
And you return to me, and you sit on your throne.
And you make me feel that I'm not alone.
And I take you down [Bb] to the burning [Eb] ground.
[Bb] To the burning [Eb] ground.
[Bb] To the burning [Eb] ground.
[Bb] To the burning [Eb] ground.
_ _ Hey man, [Gm] who's that you're carrying?
Feels like lead.
It's a ton, let's see if we can dump it by the side of the [Eb] hill.
Hey, wait up, why don't you dump it on the burning ground?
Oh, dump it down there.
Yeah, man, dump the jute.
Hey man, dump the [Gm] jute on the burning ground.
[Eb] Dump the jute?
[Gm] Yeah, you know, dump the jute.
Dump the [Eb] jute?
On the burning ground.
On the burning ground. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[Eb] _ And you make me think what it's all about.
Sometimes I [Bb] know, gonna [Eb] work it out.
You know what you [Bb] run, in the [Eb] crimson sun.
Tear my shirt [Bb] apart, and rip [Eb] it with my heart.
You know what you [Bb] run, and all [Eb] you're gonna [Gm] need.
Lot [Eb] of burnin' will, can you tell me please?
Between heaven and hell, won't you take me down?
[Bb] To the burning [Eb] ground.
[Bb] To the burning [Eb] ground.
[Bb] To the burning [Eb] ground.
[Bb] To the burning [Eb] ground. _ _ _ _ _

[Eb] _ [Gm] When [Eb] you fall and pray, [Gm] when [Eb] you hear that sound.
Never walking [Bb] back, till [Eb] the burial mound.
You shake your [Gm] head, and [Eb] you turn it around.
And you see the flame, from the burning ground.
You're gonna get down [Bb] on, your [Eb] knees and pray.
And I test my breath, [Gm] never [Eb] running away.
And I take the [Gm] juice, and I [Eb] throw him [Bb] down.
On the burning [Eb] ground.
[Bb] On the burning [Eb] ground.
[Bb] On the burning [Eb] ground.
[Bb] It's on the burning [Eb] ground.
On [Bb] the burning [Eb] ground.

It's on the burning ground.
