[Verse 1]
No matter hAbow much cCmoal you shovel in the mFmouth of your cCmhild,
These furnaces Abstill want Cmmore. These furnaces stFmill want mCmore.
They come in fleAbets and in dCmroves, with puritaFmnical voCmtes.
These furnaces Abstill want moCmre. These furnaces Fmstill want Cmmore.
[Pre-Chorus]
AbIn to the Ebabyss, with the Bbrope's tied 'round your Cmwrists.
You're the Ablast illusiEbonist, but you don't Gknow it.
[Chorus]
And this is jAbunkyard lCmove, on the Fmscrapheap of Cmlust.
Keep the fAburnace buCmrning, lest we Fmturn in to Cmrust.
[Interlude]
 Ab   Cm   Fm   Cm(x2)
[Verse 2]
Hungry litte Abbird's in the Cmnest, except they're fFmracking for the shaCmle gas.
These furnaces Abnever know when to Cmquit. These furnaces neFmver keep the oiCml slick.
So you'll spark Abup another cCmigar, rev the engine on your Fmbulletproof Cmcar.
These furnaces Abstill want moCmre. These furnaces Fmstill want Cmmore.
[Pre-Chorus]
AbIn to the Ebabyss, with the Bbrope's tied 'round your Cmwrists.
You're the Ablast illusiEbonist, but you don't Gknow it.
[Chorus]
And this is jAbunkyard lCmove, on the Fmscrapheap of Cmlust.
Keep the fAburnace buCmrning, lest we Fmturn in to Cmrust.
And this is jAbunkyard lCmove, on the Fmscrapheap of Cmlust.
Keep the fAburnace buCmrning, lest we Fmturn in to Cmrust.
[Bridge]
  EbKeep it burning baGmby. Keep it burning baCmby. Keep it burning baBby.
  EbKeep it burning baGmby. Keep it burning baCmby. Keep it burning baBby.
[Chorus]
And this is jAbunkyard lCmove, on the Fmscrapheap of Cmlust.
Keep the fAburnace buCmrning, lest we Fmturn in to Cmrust.
And this is jAbunkyard lCmove, on the Fmscrapheap of Cmlust.
