Deep Purple - Burn

(Blackmore/Lord/Paice/Coverdale)

From "Burn" (1974)

--------------------------------

Key: B flat

Intro: Gm

Gm

The sky is red, I don't understand;

F/G

past midnight I still see the land.

Gm

People are sayin' the woman is damned,

C Gm

she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.___

The city's ablaze, the town's on fire;

F/G

the woman's flames are reachin' higher.

Gm

We were fools, we called her "liar";

Bb F C Gm Eb C Gm

All I hear is "Burn!"_____________

I didn't believe she was devil's sperm;

she said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn!

When I leave there's no return!"

The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"___

Warning came, no one cared;

earth was shakin', we stood and stared.

When it came no one was spared;

Still I hear "Burn!"______________

Dm Bb

You know we had no time,

Am Bb

we could not even try,______

Dm Bb/D C/D Gm

You know we had no time.

The sky is red, I don't understand;

past midnight, I still see the land.

People are sayin' the woman is damned;

she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.

Warning came, no one cared;

earth was shakin, we stood and stared.

When it came no one was spared.

Still I hear "Burn!"
