♫ Verse 1:

Bm            Asus4    C               G
A flat-footed traveler came in off the street
    Bm            Asus4         C             G
And opened up his carpet bag of Persian at my feet
    Bm               Asus4   C                   G
And gathering up the amaranth trampled 'neath his heels
     Bm            Asus4           C               Em
I've come for your brother he said pointin' to the fields

♫ Chorus:
Em      D             Em
Blazing now flames of blue
Em        D                        G
Brace yourself I will take him from you


♫ Verse:
    Bm             Asus4   C              G
His face was not angelical saintly in the least
            Bm            Asus4   C               G
And I could tell from his accent  he was from the East
      Bm             Asus4   C                G
And I took him for a cripple he walked with a cane
     Bm            Asus4           C               Em
I've come for your brother he said pointin' to the plains

♫ Chorus:
Em      D             Em
Blazing now flames of blue
Em        D                        G
Brace yourself I will take him from you

Bm  Asus4    C  G  Bm          Asus4   C

Em  D(7) Em D(7) G
  Ooh ooh ooh

Bm                Asus4            C             G
Now the New World flags are flyin' ships are on alert
    Bm              Asus4    C              G
The orders sent out overseas mustn't be overheard
      Bm          Asus4    C           G
While information flickers in purple machines
Bm           Asus4      C            Em
Me I have my orders and lamps of kerosene

♫ Chorus:
Em      D             Em

Brace yourself I will take him    from you
