EBurn
ELeft me out, a hound ungroomed with one neigh moon
I Bmwas consumed, I Ahowled to itE  
EOh I was loud, in drinking rooms and dim saloons
When BmI found you, I Afound you woundedE  
But Dbyou wore your Dheart like a Ala-Edy
And DbI lit your Dsmokes like a F#mman
EBurn
EGathered round, when eyes adjusted, in fire we trusted
BmTend to a bed of Akindle, I stoked it on and Eon
EWhen dry wind roused our hearts unready, it painted red with
Bmorange hands, and a Abrush more hot than what we Ewant
BmAll around we just Adanced, so drunk upon the lawnE  
And Dbyou danced the Dsteps of a Ala-Edy
And DbI tried to Dlead like a F#mman
And the Bbells only Dbmring in emDergencies
F#mThere's hazard and heat to disAcern, in a controlled Eburn
EWhen we were found, our molars made the sorry case
Bm[no lyric]A  E  
Db"Where goes our Dboy? F#mWhere Agoes our Egirl?"
DbOur fathers Dcried, I F#mne— vAer heaErd
And the Bbells only Dbmring in emDergencies
F#mThere's hazard and heat to disAcern,
F#mIt warms and it dances it speaks out of turn and it Aruns

Gathered round, when eyes adjusted, in fire we trusted

Tend to a bed of kindle, I stoked it on and on
