Intro:
G+G
Verse 1:
G+G D MajorD
The flames they followed Joan of Arc
C majorC G+G
As she came riding through the dark;
A augmentedA D MajorD
No moon to keep her armour bright,
A augmentedA G+G D MajorD D7D7
No man to get her through the smoky night.
G+G D MajorD
She said, I’m tired of the war,
C majorC G+G
I want the work I had before,
A augmentedA D MajorD
A augmentedA wedding dress or something white
A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
To wear upon my swollen appetite.
Chorus:
D MajorD A minorAm C majorC G+G
La(13x) La ----- -- Lalalalala La------- Lalalalala La-----------
Verse 2:
G+G D MajorD
I’m glad to hear you talk this way,
C majorC G+G
I’ve watched you riding every day
A augmentedA D MajorD
And something in me yearns to win
A augmentedA G+G D MajorD D7D7
Such a cold and lonesome heroine.
G+G D MajorD
And who are you? she sternly spoke
C majorC G+G
To the voice beneath the smoke.
A augmentedA D MajorD
I am fire, he replied,
A augmentedA G+G D MajorD D7D7
And I love your solitude, and I love your pride.
Chorus:
D MajorD A minorAm C majorC G+G
La(13x) La ----- -- Lalalalala La------- Lalalalala La-----------
Verse 3:
G+G D MajorD
Fire, make your body cold,
C majorC G+G
When I give you mine to hold,
A augmentedA D MajorD
And saying this she stepped inside
A augmentedA G+G D MajorD D7D7
To be his one, to be his only bride.
G+G D MajorD
And deep into his fiery heart
C majorC G+G
He took the dust of Joan of Arc,
A augmentedA D MajorD
And high above the wedding guests
A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
He hung the ashes of her wedding dress.
Chorus:
D MajorD A minorAm C majorC G+G
La(13x) La ----- -- Lalalalala La------- Lalalalala La-----------
Verse 4:
G+G D MajorD
Deep into his fiery heart
C majorC G+G
He took the dust of Joan of Arc,
A augmentedA D MajorD
Then she clearly understood
A augmentedA G+G D MajorD D7D7
If he was fire, then she must be wood.
G+G D MajorD
I saw her wince, I saw her cry,
C majorC G+G
Saw the glory in her eye.
A augmentedA D MajorD
Myself I long for love and light,
A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
But must it come so cruel, must it be so bright?
Chorus:
D MajorD A minorAm C majorC G+G
La(13x) La ----- -- Lalalalala La------- Lalalalala La-----------
D MajorD A minorAm C majorC G+G
La(13x) La ----- -- Lalalalala La------- Lalalalala La-----------
