Intro: 
  G


Verse 1:                
        G                D
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       D7   
No man to get her through the smoky night.
G                    D
 She said, I’m tired of the war,
C                 G
I want the work I had before,
  A                D
A wedding dress or something white
A               G           D
To wear upon my swollen appetite.

Chorus:
D            Am       C                                   G         
La(13x)     La ----- -- Lalalalala  La------- Lalalalala  La-----------


Verse 2:
G                    D
I’m glad to hear you talk this way,
C                        G     
I’ve watched you riding every day
     A              D
And something in me yearns to win
A               G            D    D7      
Such a cold and lonesome heroine.
G                    D
And who are you? she sternly spoke
C              G     
To the voice beneath the smoke.
A          D
I am fire, he replied,
A                G               D                 D7      
 And I love your solitude, and I love your pride.


Chorus:
D           Am       C                                    G         
La(13x)     La ----- -- Lalalalala  La------- Lalalalala  La-----------


Verse 3:
G               D
Fire, make your body cold,
C               G     
When I give you mine to hold,
     A              D
And saying this she stepped inside
A              G              D    D7      
To be his one, to be his only bride.
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 wedding dress.


Chorus:
D           Am       C                                   G                         
La(13x)     La ----- -- Lalalalala  La------- Lalalalala  La-----------


Verse 4:
G             D
Deep into his fiery heart
C                   G     
He took the dust of Joan of Arc,
A                D
Then she clearly understood
A               G                D       D7   
If he was fire, then she must be wood.
G                  D
I saw her wince, I saw her cry,
C             G     
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       C                                    G

D           Am       C                                    G
