Burn Down This Town - Rosanne Cash
Chorded By: Robert Lees
----------------------------------
Intro: Em  
EmThe hills are burning, fields turn to steel
the big house is haunted with what we don't feel
the Cstreets are empty, no one ever comes aGround
so you Dknow they won't make a Csound burn down this Emtown
EmMy lungs are blackened with the smoke and sobs
so just be a man and finish the job
and i'll Cwatch you from this distant place i've Gfound
oh you Dknow I won't make a Csound burn down this Emtown
Chorus:
C-G-D  
                                  D  C-G-D  
The clapboard jail and the co-op board
                                 D  C-G-D  
the garden club and the bedroom door
                                     D  C-G-Am  
the sprinkled lawn and the mirrored hall
Amthe Christmas tree
just Cburn it Emall
( Emover Instrumental)
The sky is falling with ash and mud
we gotta make the promise, yeah blood to blood
so shut the door then slowly turn around
now you know you can't make a sound burn down this town
The clapboard jail and the co-op board
the garden club and the bedroom door
the sprinkled lawn and the mirrored hall
the Christmas tree
just burn it all
burn down this town
