Verse 1:

D         Em
Fire they cried
   G         A
So evil must die
    D          Em
And yields are good
   G             A
So men pull back hoods
    D/A
And smile

 (D/A)

     D               Em
The scapegoat blood spilled
 G           A
Spittled and grilled
   D             Em
It crackled and spat
    G             A
And children grew fat
       D/A
On the meat

  D          Em
Assembled on high
G                       A
Silhouette against the sky
     D               Em
The smoke prayed and pranced
     G               A
And sparks did their dance

In the wind

   D           Em
Disguises wore thin
     G              A
With less and less skin
        D                 Em
And the clothes that were draped
    G             A
Was all that told man
     D/A
From ape
