ADRIAN BELEW - BURNED BY THE FIRE WE MAKE
As played on the amazing record "acoustic".
B- B-open
And when Man gained dominion
B- B-open
over land and the oceans
B- B-open
he began to harm the planet
F# G A
with his asphalt and his toxins
B- B-open
and to lay the forest bare
B- B-open
and to poison even the air
B- B-open
and he killed every beast
F# G A
and taught the seas how to bleed
G A
Burned by the fire we make,
D
what a shame
B- B-open
Then the winds gave in
B- B-open
and the rain knew no season
B- B-open
and the sun came to beat
F# G A
on a land of sand and diseases
B- B-open
and when God looked down
B- B-open
on the earth and saw it was broken
B- B-open F# G
then the tears of God fell down
A
through a hole in the ozone
G A
Burned by the fire we make
D
what a shame
G D
This is the nature of the human race
G D
to kill off anything that gets in our way
G D D/C# D/B D/A
poor Mother Earth we disfigured her face
G G/F# E E/F#
Man is the maker of his own disgrace
G A
Burned by the fire we make
D
what a shame

Of course, fell free to make this tab better.
I did my best, but Adrian is a monster guitarist and he does some strange chord; he?s a
he?s the hystory, and I?m only a nut.
But this is my tribute to him.
Thank you Ade.
