[Intro] G [Verse 1]
C           Am  Em             C
  I knew a girl  with sad blue eyes

             Am      Em              C
  But at the feast I lost my psychic prize

           Am           F             Am
  I did forget what the tarot maid did say

C          Am    Em       C


[Verse 2]
[tab]C               Am    Em         C
  Our house was filled with many birds

              Am       Em               C
  She said to me I can understand their words

                Am   F        Am
  The land will shake so run away

C          Am Em          C
  I burn today,  I burn today
[Chorus]
 G                 F

  She said our fun, its time has come

                Am          Em              C
  Hold my heart strings and have yourself a strum

          Am   F                 Am
  No nevermore this song will we play

C          Am  Em         C
  I burn today,  I burn today

C             Am Em           C
  And as I drank in old Paris

              Am            Em                 C
  She lay her cards just to see what she would see

                Am           F                 Am
  Down by the water you will find your happys days

C           Am Em       C 
  I burn today I burn today

C              Am Em             C
  I ran so fast in to the North

             Am          Em              C
  No snow on me then so he said thence forth

                Am   F             Am
  I let snow fall on a frozen yesterday

C           Am   Em       C 
  I burn today I burn today
[Verse 6]
C         Am     Em      C
  If my head is hanging down

                Am          Em              C
  I feel her arms and her legs are all around

                Am   F        Am
  And we make love beside the waterway

C           Am   Em       C 
  I burn today I burn today
[Chorus]
 G                 F
  Yes today I will burn

 Em              G
  For the times I did not learn
[Verse 7]
C              Am Em       C
  Behold the rose of Jericho

                Am  Em           C
  How many lives I really do no know

                   Am    F             Am
  Though with the rain I know it will return

 C        Am   Em        C   
  Today I burn,  Today I burn
