Thanx Kirk Anderson ([email protected]) for chords, he writes:
|
For the basic intro, verse, chorus riff play Em at fret 7
|
then pull off fingers 2, 3, and 4: voila the other chord: 777777,
|
though I don't strum the low E. (X77777 = Bm11)
|
Slide it up from fret 6 when you feel moved to. Rinse. Repeat.

The Mona Lisa's sister doesn't smile
|

|
She tried to pose but only for a while
|

Chorus:

|
Get started, start a fire (4 times)
|
|
Marilyn was lying all alone With an empty bottle by the phone
|
Kennedy was not around She was cold when she was found
|
But she'd gone where goddesses are sleeping
|
Where the molten tongues of flame are leaping
|
Or where the angel's hearts are heating (Instrumental VERSE, INTRO RPT)
|
|
Joan of Arc was burning at the stake Somebody had made a big mistake
|
She had lit a cigarette In an aiport where you get
|
Your fingers taken off for smoking.
|
Meanwhile up the road a factory's choking
|
The ones who killed her work there I'm not joking
|
