    Gm
The sky is red, I don't understand;

F/G
past midnight I still see the land.

  Gm
People are sayin' the woman is damned,

 C                                         Gm
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
The city's ablaze, the town's on fire;
     F/G
the woman's flames are reachin' higher.

Gm
We were fools, we called her "liar";

Bb  F  C       Gm     Eb   C    Gm
All I hear is "Burn!"
[Verse 2] (verse 1 chords) I didn't believe she was devil's sperm; she said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn! When I leave there's no return!" The people laughed till she said, "Burn!" Warning came, no one cared; earth was shakin', we stood and stared. When it came no one was spared; Still I hear "Burn!" [Chorus]
Dm                       Bb
     You know we had no time,

                       Am         Bb
      we could not even try,

                         Dm      Bb/D    C/D   Gm
      You know we had no time.
[Verse 3] (verse 1 chords) The sky is red, I don't understand; past midnight, I still see the land. People are sayin' the woman is damned; she makes you burn with a wave of her hand. Warning came, no one cared; earth was shakin, we stood and stared. When it came no one was spared. Still I hear "Burn!"

"...but I know I play a whole load of Purple riffs differently to the way the b'stard in black does (I know he plays Space Truckin' differently to me)" ************************************ | (n) Ghost note ************************************
