[Intro] G [Verse]
          G                   D
Now the flames they followed Joan of Arc

C                     G
As she came riding through the dark

A                   D
No moon to keep her armour bright

    A                            G              D
No man to get her through this dark, and smoky night
[Verse]
G                    D
She said, "I'm tired of the war

C                          G
I want the kind of work I had before

   A                D
A wedding dress or something white

    A            G             D
To wear upon my swollen appetite".
[Chorus]
       D                            Am
La la la, la la la, la la la la la la

 C                  G  D               G
 la, la la la la la la
[Verse]
            G               D
Well, I'm glad to hear you talk this way

C                          G
I've watched you riding every day

A                          D
And something in me, that yearns to win

A                         G      D
Such a cold and lonesome heroine
[Verse]
G                        D
"And who are you?" she sternly spoke

C             G
To the one beneath the smoke

    A            D
"Why, I'm fire," he replied

        A                  G             D
"And I love your solitude, I love your pride."
[Chorus]
       D                            Am
La la la, la la la, la la la la la la

 C                  G  D               G
la, la la la la la la,
[Verse]
       G                    D
"Well then fire, make your body cold

C                      G
I'm going to give you mine to hold,"

A                     D
And saying this she climbed inside

    A              G            D
To be his one, to be his only bride
[Verse]
G                  D
And deep into his fiery heart

C                    G
He took the dust of Joan of Arc

A                   D
And high above the wedding guests

    A                     G               D
He hung the ashes of her lovely wedding dress
[Chorus]
       D                            Am
La la la, la la la, la la la la la la

C                  G  D               G
 la, la la la la la 
[Verse]
        G             D
It was deep into his fiery heart

C                    G
He took the dust of Joan of Arc

A                    D
And then she clearly understood

    A            G               D
If he was fire, oh she must be wood
[Verse]
G                    D
I saw her wince, I saw her cry

C               G
I saw the glory in her eye

A                  D
Myself I long for love and light

     A                       G              D
But must it come so cruel, must it be so bright?
[Chorus]
       D                            Am
La la la, la la la, la la la la la la

 C                  G  D               G
la, la la la la la la,
