The Tiger Lillies - Start A Fire

      [Verse 1]
C
   I like burning houses down and factories as well
   I like burning anything, this the truth I tell
F
   Libraries and museums, both of them have fell
C
   I like burning things, burning things is swell


[Verse 2]
C
   I would like to start it as a fashion trend
   Amongst the young people, then the world might end
F
   Wouldn't it be fun, to ring the funeral bell
C
   On our civilization, watch it burn in hell


[Chorus]
G             G             G              G
Start a fire, start a fire, start a fire today
C                 C                 G            C
Burn it, burn it, burn it, burn it, burn it all away
C  C C C
Fireeeee!
C  C C C
Fireeeee!


[Verse 3]
C               C          C              C
In the summer I like to go to the country side
C              C              C                  C
Where I burn a forest down, I watch it burn with pride
F            F             F               F
Isn't nature wonderful, it makes things so dry
C                 C                 G                C
Burn it, burn it, burn it, burn it, burn the country side


[Chorus]
G             G             G              G
Start a fire, start a fire, start a fire today
C                 C                 G            C
Burn it, burn it, burn it, burn it, burn it all away
C  C C C
Fireeeee!
C  C C C  C C C C
Fireeeee!


[Verse 4]
C                C      C                C
It makes me feel sad to see young people dance
C                   C                 C                 C
They could burn the discotheque down, they've got every chance
F                   F      F        F
Then they'd get themselves into the news
C               C                  G                C
Burning things, burning things can make you famous, too


[Chorus]
G             G             G              G
Start a fire, start a fire, start a fire today
C                 C                 G            C
Burn it, burn it, burn it, burn it, burn it all away
C  C C C
Fireeeee!
C  C C C
Fireeeee!
C  C C C
Fireeeee!


[Outro]
C                 C                 G            C
Burn it, burn it, burn it, burn it, burn it all away
