CAPO: 1st Fret



[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
                         D            C
The flames they followed Joan of Arc
                   G                 A
As she came riding through the dark
                    D              A
No moon to keep her armour bright
      G                             D      D7  G
No man to get her through the smoky night


[Verse 2]
                     D           C
She said, "I’m tired of the war
                  G
I want the work I had before
  A               D                 A
A wedding dress or something white
                G           D
To wear upon my swollen appetite"


[Interlude]
D                                 Am
La la la, la la la la la la la la laa
               C                   G
La la la la la laa, la la la la la laa


[Verse 3]
                          D
I’m glad to hear you talk this way
C                          G       A
I’ve watched you riding every day
                    D
And something in me yearns to win
A          G                 D    D7
Such a cold and lonesome heroine


[Verse 4]
     G                 D              C
"And who are you?" she sternly spoke
               G
To the voice beneath the smoke
             D           A
"I am fire", he replied
                 G           D
"And I love your solitude, I love your pride"


[Interlude]
D                                 Am
La la la, la la la la la la la la laa
               C                   G
La la la la la laa, la la la la la laa


[Verse 5]
           D                C
"Fire, make your body cold
                G
When I give you mine to hold"
     A                D
Then saying this, she stepped inside
A              G              D      D7  G
To be his one, to be his only bride


[Verse 6]
                  D            C
And deep into his fiery heart
                    G
He took the dust of Joan of Arc
    A              D               A
And high above the wedding guests
             G                   D
He hung the ashes of her wedding dress


[Interlude]
D                                 Am
La la la, la la la la la la la la laa
               C                   G
La la la la la laa, la la la la la laa


[Verse 7]
              D            C
Deep into his fiery heart
                    G            A
He took the dust of Joan of Arc
                 D           A
Then she clearly understood
            G                    D     D7  G
If he was fire, then she must be wood


[Verse 8]
                   D            C
I saw her wince, I saw her cry
                G           A
I saw the glory in her eye
           D                      A
Myself, I long for love and light
                    G                    D
But must it come so cruel, must it be so bright?


[Outro]
D                                 Am
La la la, la la la la la la la la laa
               C                   G     D
La la la la la laa, la la la la la laa
                                  Am
La la la, la la la la la la la la laa
               C                   G
La la la la la laa, la la la la la laa
