[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,
A                 G                 D       D7   
No man to get her through the smoky night.
G                    D
 She said, I’m tired of the war,
C                 G
I want the work I had before,
  A                D
A wedding dress or something white
A               G           D     D7
To wear upon my swollen appetite.


[Chorus]
D            Am                     C                     G

[Verse 2]
G                    D
I’m glad to hear you talk this way,
C                        G     
I’ve watched you riding every day
     A              D
And something in me yearns to win
A               G            D    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                         D      D7      
 And I love your solitude, and I love your pride.


[Chorus]
D            Am                     C                     G

[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.
G                  D
 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             G                  D          
He hung the ashes of her wedding dress.


[Chorus]
D           Am                      C                     G

[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.
G                  D
I saw her wince, I saw her cry,
C             G     
Saw the glory in her eye.
A                 D
Myself I long for love and light,
A                   G              D          
But must it come so cruel, must it be so bright?


[Chorus]
D           Am          C                                 G
