[Verse 1]
C Am Em C
I knew a girl with sad blue eyes
Am Em C
But at the feast I lost my psychic prize
Am F Am
I did forget what the tarot maid did say
C Am Em C
I burn today, I burn today
[Verse 2]
C Am Em C
Our house was filled with many birds
Am Em C
She said to me I can understand their words
Am F Am
The land will shake so run away
C Am Em C
I burn today, I burn today
[Chorus]
G F
Yes today I will burn
Em G
For the times I did not learn
[Break]
C Am Em C
C Am Em C
C Am F Am
C Am Em C
[Verse 3]
C Am Em C
She said our fun, its time has come
Am Em C
Hold my heart strings and have yourself a strum
Am F Am
No nevermore this song will we play
C Am Em C
I burn today, I burn today
C Am Em C
And as I drank in old Paris
Am Em C
She lay her cards just to see what she would see
Am F Am
Down by the water you will find your happys days
C Am Em C
I burn today I burn today
[Chorus]
G F
Yes today I will burn
Em G
For the times I did not learn
[Break]
C Am Em C
C Am Em C
C Am F Am
C Am Em C
[Verse 5]
C Am Em C
I ran so fast in to the North
Am Em C
No snow on me then so he said thence forth
Am F Am
I let snow fall on a frozen yesterday
C Am Em C
I burn today I burn today
[Verse 6]
C Am Em C
If my head is hanging down
Am Em C
I feel her arms and her legs are all around
Am F Am
And we make love beside the waterway
C Am Em C
I burn today I burn today
[Chorus]
G F
Yes today I will burn
Em G
For the times I did not learn
[Verse 7]
C Am Em C
Behold the rose of Jericho
Am Em C
How many lives I really do no know
Am F Am
Though with the rain I know it will return
C Am Em C
Today I burn, Today I burn
