   CI want the kind of work I Ghad before,
A Awedding dress or sDomething white
To Awear upon my Gswollen aDppetite.

Half-step down tuning (Eb)

[Intro]

G G G G

(Jennifer)

G D

Now the flames they followed Joan of Arc

C G

As she came riding through the dark;

A D

No moon to keep her armour bright,

A G D

No man to get her through this dark and smoky night.

G D

She said, I’m tired of the war,

C G

I want the kind of work I had before,

A D

A wedding dress or something white

A G D

To wear upon my swollen appetite.

[Dadada...]

D D Am Am C C G D G G

(Leonard)

G D

Well, I’m glad to hear you talk this way,

C G

I’ve watched you riding every day

A D

And there's something in me that yearns to win

A G D

Such a cold, such a lonesome heroine.

(Jennifer)

G D

And who are you? she sternly spoke

C G

To the one beneath the smoke.

(Leonard)

A D

Why, I’m fire, he replied,

A G D

And I love your solitude, I love your pride.

[Dadada...]

D D Am Am C C G D G G

(Jennifer)

G D

Well then fire, make your body cold,

C G

I’m gonna give you mine to hold,

A D

And saying this she climbed inside

A G D

To be his one, to be his only bride.

(Leonard)

G D

Then deep into his fiery heart

C G

He took the dust of Joan of Arc,

A D

And high above all these wedding guests

A G D

He hung the ashes of her lovely wedding dress.

[Dadada...]

(Jennifer)

G D

It was deep into his fiery heart

C G

He took the dust of Joan of Arc,

A D

And then she clearly understood

A G D

If he was fire, oh she must be wood.

(Leonard)

G D

I saw her wince, I saw her cry,

C G

I saw the glory in her eye.

A D

Myself I long for love and light,

A G D

But must it come so cruel, must it be so bright?
