Burn by Deep Purple (Chords and Lyrics)


    Intro: Gm

    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.___

    The city’s ablaze, the town’s on fire;
    the w[F/G]oman’s flames are reachin’ higher.
    We were fools, we called her “liar”;
    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!”______________

    You know we had no time,
    we could not even try,______
    You know we had no time.[Bb/D][C/D]

    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!”
