6/8 time
Intro
[G] [G] [G] [G]
(Jennifer)
Now the [G]flames they followed [D]Joan of Arc
[C] As she came riding [G]through the dark;
No [A]moon to keep her [D]armour bright,
No [A]man to get her through this[G] dark and [D]smoky night.
She [G]said, I’m tired [D]of the war,
[C] I want the kind of work I [G]had before,
A [A]wedding dress or [D]something white
To [A]wear upon my[G] swollen [D]appetite.
Dadada...

(Leonard)
Well, I’m [G]glad to hear you [D]talk this way,
[C] I’ve watched you riding [G]every day
And there's [A]something in me that [D]yearns to win
Such a [A]cold, such a [G]lonesome [D]heroine.
(Jennifer)
And [G]who are you? she [D]sternly spoke
[C] To the one [G]beneath the smoke.
(Leonard)
[A] Why, I’m fire, [D]he replied,
And I [A]love your [G]solitude, I love your [D]pride.
Dadada...
| D | D | Am | Am | C | C | G | D | G | G
(Jennifer)
Well then [G]fire, make your [D]body cold,
[C] I’m gonna give you [G]mine to hold,
And [A]saying this she [D]climbed inside
To [A]be his one, to [G]be his only [D]bride.
(Leonard)
Then [G]deep into his [D]fiery heart
[C] He took the dust of [G]Joan of Arc,
[A] And high above all these [D]wedding guests
He [A]hung the ashes of her [G]lovely [D]wedding dress.
Dadada...
| D | D | Am | Am | C | C | G | D | G | G
(Jennifer)
It was [G]deep into his [D]fiery heart
[C] He took the dust of [G]Joan of Arc,
And [A]then she clearly [D]understood
If [A]he was fire, [G]oh she must be [D]wood.
(Leonard)
I [G]saw her wince, I [D]saw her cry,
[C] I saw the glory [G]in her eye.
[A]Myself I long [D]for love and light,
But [A]must it come so [G]cruel, must it be so [D]bright?
Dadada...
