You Will Burn Chords by Steeleye Span

[N] _ [G] _ _ [A] You Will Burn is a song [G] that tells of villagers going [F#] to a, in my mind, a midwife's bed at night
and first of all saying that we'll kneel by your bedside and we'll pray for your soul
_ [G] and then they will be standing when she wakes up [F#]
and her bones will be broken
_ and [F] her blood will be shed, her hands will be [Fm] tied and they take her to the forest and [G#] they burn her
[F#] so that her soul will be saved.
[G#] And for me, I have a slight problem with [G] _ religion [F#] generally.
I do believe that _ whatever I feel is very much to do with me and is within
[G] and I think that people tend to project outwards to try and cure themselves.
So to burn someone that [F#m] they believe is a witch or possessed by the devil
doesn't actually mean that they're [F] possessed by the devil in [F#] my eyes,
it means that the person _ _ [G#] _ themselves are [F#] possessed by [G] something that's unhealthy.
_ And it's my [G#] way of _ _ [F#] illustrating this [G] _ dilemma that I [G#] have.
So it doesn't rest easy with [Am] me.
So for me, this song is a [D#] little bit _ awkward.
And the gospel thing at [F#] the end, praise the Lord, another soul is saved, praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
[D#] to me it's quite wicked _ because they believe that they're doing right
and yet from my eyes it's just like, _ can't they see [E] what's going on?
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ As _ _ you sleep in [B] your good spell bed, _ _ [A] he will be _ healing [B] the poor. _ _ _ _
He'll [E] pray for your soul like the [B] _ good Lord said.
_ [A] Let all be forgiven, let [B] none be [E] denied.
_ _ _ _ One night as you sleep [B] in your good spell _ bed, _ [A] he will be _ standing at [B] your _ _ bedside.
Your [E] bones will be broken and your [B] blood will be shed.
Your [A] eyes will be taken and your [B] hands will be [E] tied. _ _ _
Then we'll [A] take you to the [E] forest where [B] long will you pry.
[E] _
And we'll [A] cut down the [E] sycamore and [B] the rose. _ _ _
And it's [A] there we will [E] forgive you and it's there [B] we'll watch you [C#m] die.
Like the [F#m] dancing silhouette [C#m] _
against [B] the moon.
_ _ And you will [E] burn, you will _ _ burn.
_ We will purify your soul in [B] the fire, in the fire. _ _ _
And your spirit will live forever.
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
It will _ rise, it will rise. _
_ _ _ From the ashes and the ember in [B] your _ _ _ _ _ _ eyes. _
And your spirit will live _ [C#m] forever.
_ _ _ [A] _ Praise [E] the Lord and [B] all the souls that [C#m] stay.
_ [A] Praise the [E] _
Lord, _ [B] praise _ [E] the _ Lord. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ One night as you sleep in your [B] good spell _ bed, _ [A] he will be _ kneeling at [B] your _ _ bedside.
_ You'll [E] pray for your soul like the [B] good _ Lord said.
_ [A] Let all be forgiven, _ [B] let none be [E] _ denied. _ _ _
[C#m] And [E] one night as you sleep in [B] your good spell bed, _ _ _ [A] he will be _ standing at [B] your _ bedside.
But your [E] home will be burning and your [B] child will be dead.
Your [A] _ eyes will be taken and your [B] hands will [E] be tied.
_ _ _ Then [A] we'll take you to [E] the forest [B] where long will you [E] pry.
And [A] we'll cut down [E] the sycamore [B] and the rose.
_ And _ [A] it's there we will [E] forgive you and [B] it's there we'll watch you [C#m] die.
Like a [F#m]
dancing [A] _ [C#m] silhouette _ against the [B] _
world, _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
you will _ burn. _
_ We will purify your soul in [B] the fire, in the fire.
_ _ _ And your spirit will live [E] forever. _
_ _ _ _ It will _ rise, it will rise _ _ _ from the ashes and the embers [B] in your _ eyes, in your _ eyes.
_ And your spirit will live _ forever.
[C#m] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] Praise the Lord and all the [B] souls that [C#m] stay.

And [B] all the souls that [C#m] stay.
_ [A] Praise [E] the _ Lord, _ praise _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ the Lord. _ _ _ _ _
