[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
The flamGes they followed DJoan of Arc
C As she came riding Gthrough the dark;
ANo moon to keep her aDrmour bright,
ANo man to get her Gthrough the smoky Dnight. D7
G She said, I’m tired Dof the war,
CI want the work I Ghad before,
A Awedding dress or Dsomething white
ATo wear upon my Gswollen appeDtite. D7
[Chorus]
D Am C G
La(13x) La ----- -- Lalalalala La------- Lalalalala La-----------
[Verse 2]
GI’m glad to hear you Dtalk this way,
CI’ve watched you riding eGvery day
And sAomething in me Dyearns to win
ASuch a cold and Glonesome heroDine. D7
GAnd who are you? she Dsternly spoke
CTo the voice beGneath the smoke.
AI am fire, Dhe replied,
A And I love your Gsolitude, and I love your Dpride. D7
[Chorus]
D Am C G
La(13x) La ----- -- Lalalalala La------- Lalalalala La-----------
[Verse 3]
GFire, make your Dbody cold,
CWhen I give you Gmine to hold,
And sAaying this she Dstepped inside
ATo be his one, Gto be his only DbrideD7.
G And deep into his Dfiery heart
CHe took the dust of GJoan of Arc,
And Ahigh above the Dwedding guests
AHe hung the asGhes of her wedding Ddress.
[Chorus]
D Am C G
La(13x) La ----- -- Lalalalala La------- Lalalalala La-----------
[Verse 4]
GDeep into his Dfiery heart
CHe took the dust of GJoan of Arc,
AThen she clearly Dunderstood
AIf he was fire, Gthen she must be Dwood. D7
GI saw her wince, I Dsaw her cry,
CSaw the glory Gin her eye.
AMyself I long for Dlove and light,
ABut must it come so Gcruel, must it Dbe so bright?
[Chorus]
