Thanx Kirk Anderson (kanderso@wheatonma.edu) for chords, he writes:
For the basic intro, verse, chorus riff play Em at fret 7
then pull off fingers 2, 3, and 4: voila the other chord: 777777,
though I don`t strum the low E. (X77777 = Bm11)
Slide it up from fret 6 when you feel moved to. Rinse. Repeat.
Em Bm11 Em Bm11
The Mona Lisa`s sister doesn`t smile
Em Bm11 Em Bm11
She tried to pose but only for a while
Em Bm11 Em Bm11
Leonardo sent her home Since then she has lived alone
D C D C
With her few belongings and a copy Of a painting of herself unhappy
G C D
She is going to burn it when she`s ready
Chorus:
Em Bm11 Em Bm11
Get started, start a fire (4 times)
Marilyn was lying all alone With an empty bottle by the phone
Kennedy was not around She was cold when she was found
But she`d gone where goddesses are sleeping
Where the molten tongues of flame are leaping
Or where the angel`s hearts are heating (Instrumental VERSE, INTRO RPT)
Joan of Arc was burning at the stake Somebody had made a big mistake
She had lit a cigarette In an aiport where you get
Your fingers taken off for smoking.
Meanwhile up the road a factory`s choking
The ones who killed her work there I`m not joking
