Burn, 1974
(Blackmore/Lord/Paice/Coverdale)

—————————————————————–

Key: B flat

Intro: Gm

The sky is red, I don't understand;
[F/G]past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.___
The city's ablaze, the town's on fire;
the w[F/G]oman's flames are reachin' higher.
We were fools, we called her "liar";
All I hear is "Burn!"_____________

I didn't believe she was devil's sperm;
she said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn!
When I leave there's no return!"
The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"___
Warning came, no one cared;
earth was shakin', we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared;
Still I hear "Burn!"______________

You know we had no time,
we could not even try,______
You know we had no time.[Bb/D][C/D]

The sky is red, I don't understand;
past midnight, I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned;
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
Warning came, no one cared;
earth was shakin, we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"
