G
[Verse]
GD
Now the flames they followed Joan of Arc
CG
As she came riding through the dark
AD
No moon to keep her armour bright
AGD
No man to get her through this dark, and smoky night
[Verse]
GD
She said, "I'm tired of the war
CG
I want the kind of work I had before
AD
A wedding dress or something white
AGD
To wear upon my swollen appetite".
[Chorus]
DAm
La la la, la la la, la la la la la la
CGDG
la, la la la la la la
[Verse]
GD
Well, I'm glad to hear you talk this way
CG
I've watched you riding every day
AD
And something in me, that yearns to win
AGD
Such a cold and lonesome heroine
[Verse]
GD
"And who are you?" she sternly spoke
CG
To the one beneath the smoke
AD
"Why, I'm fire," he replied
AGD
"And I love your solitude, I love your pride."
[Chorus]
DAm
La la la, la la la, la la la la la la
CGDG
la, la la la la la la,
[Verse]
GD
"Well then fire, make your body cold
CG
I'm going to give you mine to hold,"
AD
And saying this she climbed inside
AGD
To be his one, to be his only bride
[Verse]
GD
And deep into his fiery heart
CG
He took the dust of Joan of Arc
AD
And high above the wedding guests
AGD
He hung the ashes of her lovely wedding dress
[Chorus]
DAm
La la la, la la la, la la la la la la
CGDG
la, la la la la la
[Verse]
GD
It was deep into his fiery heart
CG
He took the dust of Joan of Arc
AD
And then she clearly understood
AGD
If he was fire, oh she must be wood
[Verse]
GD
I saw her wince, I saw her cry
CG
I saw the glory in her eye
AD
Myself I long for love and light
AGD
But must it come so cruel, must it be so bright?
[Chorus]
DAm
La la la, la la la, la la la la la la
CGDG
la, la la la la la la,
