Judy Collins - Joan Of Arc
CAPO: 1st Fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
D C
The flames they followed Joan of Arc
G A
As she came riding through the dark
D A
No moon to keep her armour bright
G D D7 G
No man to get her through the smoky night
[Verse 2]
D C
She said, "I’m tired of the war
G
I want the work I had before
A D A
A wedding dress or something white
G D
To wear upon my swollen appetite"
[Interlude]
D Am
La la la, la la la la la la la la laa
C G
La la la la la laa, la la la la la laa
[Verse 3]
D
I’m glad to hear you talk this way
C G A
I’ve watched you riding every day
D
And something in me yearns to win
A G D D7
Such a cold and lonesome heroine
[Verse 4]
G D C
"And who are you?" she sternly spoke
G
To the voice beneath the smoke
D A
"I am fire", he replied
G D
"And I love your solitude, I love your pride"
[Interlude]
D Am
La la la, la la la la la la la la laa
C G
La la la la la laa, la la la la la laa
[Verse 5]
D C
"Fire, make your body cold
G
When I give you mine to hold"
A D
Then saying this, she stepped inside
A G D D7 G
To be his one, to be his only bride
[Verse 6]
D C
And deep into his fiery heart
G
He took the dust of Joan of Arc
A D A
And high above the wedding guests
G D
He hung the ashes of her wedding dress
[Interlude]
D Am
La la la, la la la la la la la la laa
C G
La la la la la laa, la la la la la laa
[Verse 7]
D C
Deep into his fiery heart
G A
He took the dust of Joan of Arc
D A
Then she clearly understood
G D D7 G
If he was fire, then she must be wood
[Verse 8]
D C
I saw her wince, I saw her cry
G A
I saw the glory in her eye
D A
Myself, I long for love and light
G D
But must it come so cruel, must it be so bright?
[Outro]
D Am
La la la, la la la la la la la la laa
C G D
La la la la la laa, la la la la la laa
Am
La la la, la la la la la la la la laa
C G
La la la la la laa, la la la la la laa
