Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
G

verse:
     G          D
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

verse:
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".

chorus:
    D              Am
La la la, la la la, la la la la la la
        C         G D        G
La la la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la

verse:
      G        D
Well, I'm glad to hear you talk this way
C             G
I've watched you riding every day
A             D
And something in me, that yearns to win
A       G       D
Such a cold and lonesome heroine

verse:
G            D
"And who are you?" she sternly spoke
C       G
To the one beneath the smoke
  A      D
"Why, I'm fire," he replied
    A       G         D
"And I love your solitude, I love your pride."


chorus:
    D              Am
La la la, la la la, la la la la la la
        C         G D        G
La la la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la

verse:
    G        D
"Well then fire, make your body cold
C           G
I'm going to 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

verse:
G         D
And deep into his fiery heart
C          G
He took the dust of Joan of Arc
A          D
And high above the wedding guests
  A      G           D
He hung the ashes of her lovely wedding dress

chorus:
    D              Am
La la la, la la la, la la la la la la
        C         G D        G
La la la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la

verse:
    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

verse:
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?

chorus:
    D              Am
La la la, la la la, la la la la la la
        C         G D        G
La la la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la
