"Los Angeles is Burning" by Bad Religion, chords by toasted_lemon 12/23/04. Awesome song!! Send comments, questions, and marriage proposals to xiaoxing51@yahoo.com. The intro part, which reappears in various forms throughout the song, is basically an eight-count C C F, with three counts on each of the C's and two counts on the F... if that makes any sense at all. It's easier to understand if you have the song playing along with you the first few times. [Intro] C C F C C F C C F C C F [Verse 1]
CSomewhere high in tChe desert near a curtain of blue F C AmSt. Anne's skirts are billowiGng But dowCn here in the city of the Clime lights F C The fanAms of Santa Ana are withering G And you can't dCeny that living is easCy F C If you neveAmr look behind the scenery G It's sChowtime for dry climeFs C Am G C (C C F C) And bedlam is dreaming of rain
[Chorus] Am G Am G F C (C G Am) When the hills of Los Angeles are burning Am G F C (C G Am) Palm trees are candles in the murder wind
So many lives aAmre on the breeze B Even the stars Eare ill at ease Am Am G C (C C F C C F C C F C C F) And Los Angeles is burning
[Verse 2]
CThis is noCt a tesFt C Of the emerAmgency broadcast system G Where MalibuC fires and Cradio towers F C AmConspire to dancGe again And I cannoCt believe Cthe media Mecca F C They're only trying toAm peddle reality G Catch it on prCime time, stoCry at nFine C Am G C (C C F C) The whole world is going insane
[Chorus] Am G Am G F C (C G Am) When the hills of Los Angeles are burning Am G F C (C G Am) Palm trees are candles in the murder wind
So many lives aAmre on the breeze B Even the stars Eare ill at ease Am Am G C (C C F C C F C C F C C F) And Los Angeles is burning
[Bridge]
A placard reads F "The End ofC Days" JacarandFa boughs are bending in thGe haze Am More a questiFon than a curse G How could Hell be aCny worse' G Am The flames are stunning F The camera's running G
So take warning [Solo] C C F C F C G G C C F C F C G G C C F C F C G G C C F C C F C C F C [Chorus] Am G Am G F C (C G Am) When the hills of Los Angeles are burning Am G F C (C G Am) Palm trees are candles in the murder wind
