Start Jamming...
I mean, I know that a lot of my love of music comes [B] from my mother, who had a lovely voice.
[F#m]
She was Russian and she sang songs around the house.
And I know that those [A] changes, those melodies, touched me very much.
And that's certainly been fun too.
She [E] would sing with us.
I'd take my guitar to a [B] restaurant with my friends and my mother would come and [E]
we'd
often sing all night.
Now the flame may follow [B]
Joan of Arc as [A] she came riding through [E] the dark.
No [F#]
moon to [B] keep her armor bright and no [F#m] man to get her through this [E] very dark [B] and smoky night.
[B]
She [E]
said, I'm [B] tired of the wars.
[A] I want the kind of work [E] I had before.
[F#] With a wedding dress of [B] something white [F#] to wear upon [E] my swollen [B] appetizer.
La la la la la, la la la [F#m] la la la la.
La la [A] la la la, la la la [E] la la
[B] la la la la.
[E]
Well I'm glad to hear [B] you talk this way.
You know I [A] watched you riding every single [E] day
[F#] And there's something in me that just [B] yearns to win
Such [F#] a cold, such [E] a very lonesome [B] heroine
Well [E] then who are you?
[B] She sternly spoke [A] to the [E] one beneath the smoke
Well, [F#] fire he [B] replied
And I love [F#] your solid
Oh, [E]
I [B] love your pride
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la [F#m] la
La la [A] la, la la la, [E] la la la, la la la
[B] La la la, [E]
la la la, la la la
Well then fire, [B] make your body cold
[A] I'm gonna give [E] you mind and soul
[F#] And saying this, [B] she climbed inside
[F#] To be his [E] one, to be his [B] only bride
It [E] was deep into his [B] fiery heart
We took [A] the dove of [E] Joan of Arc
[F#] And high above all [B] these wedding guests
He hung [F#] the ashes of [E] her lovely [B] wedding dress
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
[A]
[E]
[B] [E]
It was deep into his [B] fiery heart
We took the [A] dove of [E] our Joan of Arc
And [F#] then she clearly [B] understood
If he [F#] was fire, [E]
she must [B] be wood
And [E] I saw her wince, I [B] saw her cry
[A] I saw the glory [E]
in her eyes
[F#] Myself I long [B] for love and light
But must it [F#] come so cruel
[E] Must it be [B] so, so bright
La la la, la la la, [F#m]
la la la, [A] la la la
La la la, [E] la la [B] la, la la la, la [E] la la
