[Intro] C C C F C C C F C C C F C C C F C C C F C C C F C C C F C C C C [Verse 1]
C                                    F            C
Somewhere high in the desert near a curtain of blue

Am           C              G
St. Anne's skirts are billowing

     C                        F    C
But down here in the city of lime lights

     Am                    G
The fans of Santa Ana are withering

         C                        F  C
And you can't deny that living is easy

        Am           C         G
If you never look behind the scenery

    C               F   C
It's showtime for dry climes

     Am         G          C     F C
And bedlam is dreaming of rain
[Chorus]
          Am          G            F  C    G/B Am
When the hills of Los Angeles are burning

                G              F      C
Palm trees are candles in the murder wind

    G/B  Am                E
So many lives are on the breeze

               Am         F
Even the stars are ill at ease

        Am          G  C
And Los Angeles is burning
[Interlude] C C C F C C C F C C C F C C C C [Verse 2]
  C            F  C
This is not a test

          Am       C        G
Of the emergency broadcast system

       C                F     C
Where Malibu fires and radio towers

Am              G
   Conspire to dance again

          C                        F    C
And I cannot believe the media Mecca

               Am       C       G
They're only trying to peddle reality

           C              F       C
Catch it on prime time, story at nine

      Am            G       C     F C
The whole world is going insane
[Chorus]
          Am          G            F  C    G/B Am
When the hills of Los Angeles are burning

                G              F      C
Palm trees are candles in the murder wind

    G/B  Am                E
So many lives are on the breeze

               Am         F
Even the stars are ill at ease

        Am          G  C
And Los Angeles is burning
[Interlude] C C C F C C C F C C C F C C C C [Bridge]
             F  Ab              C
A placard reads    "The End of Days"

        F             G              Am
Jacaranda boughs are bending in the haze

         F              G
More a question than a curse

           C      G/B  Am
How Could Hell Be Any Worse?

                 F
The flames are stunning

              G
The camera's running

         C
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 C F C C C F C C C F C C C C [Chorus]
          Am          G            F  C    G/B Am
When the hills of Los Angeles are burning

                G              F      C
Palm trees are candles in the murder wind

    G/B  Am                E
So many lives are on the breeze

               Am         F
Even the stars are ill at ease

        Am          G  C
And Los Angeles is burning
