I F#mwish that Joan of Arc
wouldn't hAang around the park
pronoDuncing that she won't get burned Bmagain
Her F#marm is very shiny
and her mAessage is divine
but I wDish she'd take a day off now and Bmthen
She Bmsays it clears your head
when you cAome back from the dead
with your sF#mword as sharp as anything that cAuts
And to pBmrove it she bisected
three young toAurists from Utrecht
which raF#mpidly dBmis-plAayed a lEot of F#mguts
She sBmays we need to raise a brand new aArmy
and the F#mflag of France so proudly she unfAurled.
and the pBmeople that she hated will be nAeatly bifurcated
and the BF#mritish will Bmno lAonger rEule the F#mworld.
She says F#mit was a mistake
to let them bAurn her at the stake
and she leDarned a lesson back there in the fBmlames
So she's gF#moing to kill the queen
and then she'll rAescue old Orleans
and it's rDeally hard to hang around with sBmaints.
I tBmhink I ought to tell
her that the EAnglish left in failure
and they dF#mon't go back to France except on hAols.
But I Bmsaw her vivisect a man
who wAanted to correct her
and the pF#mlayground soon Bmre-sAembled graEnd guiF#mgnol
She sBmays we need to raise a brand new aArmy
And she mF#marched us round until we couldn't stAand
She says the nBmation she abhors will soon be wrAithing on the floor
And the BrF#mitish will Bmno lAonger rEule her F#mland
And F#mshe's waiting for the dauphin
who will cAome across the ocean,
And kDnows that God agrees with her compBmlaints
So I'm hF#moping that she'll ignore
my English aAccent in her war
'Cause it's rDeally hard to hang around with sBmaints
She sBmays we need to raise a brand new aArmy
and the F#mflag of France so proudly she unfAurled.
and the pBmeople that she hated will be nAeatly bifurcated
and the BF#mritish will Bmno lAonger rEule
and the BF#mritish will Bmno lAonger rEule
and the BF#mritish will Bmno lAonger rEule the F#mworld

NOTE: The fast section on "the british will no longer rule" can be played as simply F#m

- A - F#m if you're not so quick on the chords.

F#m

I wish that Joan of Arc

wouldn't hang around the park

D Bm

pronouncing that she won't get burned again

F#m

Her arm is very shiny

and her message is divine

D Bm

but I wish she'd take a day off now and then

She says it clears your head

when you come back from the dead

F#m A

with your sword as sharp as anything that cuts

And to prove it she bisected

three young tourists from Utrecht

F#m Bm A E F#m

which rapidly dis-played a lot of guts

Bm A

She says we need to raise a brand new army

F#m A

and the flag of France so proudly she unfurled.

Bm A

and the people that she hated will be neatly bifurcated

F#m Bm A E F#m

and the British will no longer rule the world.

F#m

She says it was a mistake

to let them burn her at the stake

D Bm

and she learned a lesson back there in the flames

F#m

So she's going to kill the queen

and then she'll rescue old Orleans

D Bm

and it's really hard to hang around with saints.

I think I ought to tell

her that the English left in failure

F#m A

and they don't go back to France except on hols.

But I saw her vivisect a man

who wanted to correct her

F#m Bm A E F#m

and the playground soon re-sembled grand guignol

Bm A

She says we need to raise a brand new army

F#m A

And she marched us round until we couldn't stand

Bm A

She says the nation she abhors will soon be writhing on the floor

F#m Bm A E F#m

And the British will no longer rule her land

F#m

And she's waiting for the dauphin

who will come across the ocean,

D Bm

And knows that God agrees with her complaints

F#m

So I'm hoping that she'll ignore

my English accent in her war

D Bm

'Cause it's really hard to hang around with saints

Bm A

She says we need to raise a brand new army

F#m A

and the flag of France so proudly she unfurled.

Bm A

and the people that she hated will be neatly bifurcated

F#m Bm A E

and the British will no longer rule

F#m Bm A E

and the British will no longer rule

F#m Bm A E F#m

and the British will no longer rule the world
