[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,
AGD D7
No man to get her through the smoky night.
G D
She said, I’m tired of the war,
CG
I want the work I had before,
A D
A wedding dress or something white
A GDD7
To wear upon my swollen appetite.
[Chorus]
DAm C G
La(13x) La ----- -- Lalalalala La------- Lalalalala La-----------
[Verse 2]
G D
I’m glad to hear you talk this way,
CG
I’ve watched you riding every day
A D
And something in me yearns to win
A GD 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 DD7
And I love your solitude, and I love your pride.
[Chorus]
DAm 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.
GD
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 GD
He hung the ashes of her wedding dress.
[Chorus]
DAm 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.
GD
I saw her wince, I saw her cry,
C G
Saw the glory in her eye.
AD
Myself I long for love and light,
A G D
But must it come so cruel, must it be so bright?
[Chorus]
DAm C G
La(13x) La ----- -- Lalalalala La------- Lalalalala La-----------
DAm C G
La(13x) La ----- -- Lalalalala La------- Lalalalala La-----------
