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        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

Verse 2:

 D     Em
Assembled on high
G            A
Silhouette against the sky

The smoke prayed and pranced

And sparks did their dance

In the wind

  D      Em
Disguises wore thin
   G       A
With less and less skin

And the clothes that were draped

Was all that told man
   D/A
