(Blackmore/Lord/Paice/Coverdale)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: B flat
Intro: Gm
The [Gm]sky is red, I don't understand;
[F/G]past midnight I still see the land.
Pe[Gm]ople are sayin' the woman is damned,
s[C]he makes you burn with a wave of her hand.[Gm]___
The city's ablaze, the town's on fire;
the w[F/G]oman's flames are reachin' higher.
[Gm]We were fools, we called her "liar";
[Bb]All [F]I h[C]ear is "[Gm]Burn!"_[Eb]_____[C]_____[Gm]__
I didn't believe she was devil's sperm;
she said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn!
When I leave there's no return!"
The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"___
Warning came, no one cared;
earth was shakin', we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared;
Still I hear "Burn!"______________
[Dm] You know we had no t[Bb]ime,
we could not even[Am] try,______[Bb]
You know we had no [Dm]time.[Bb/D][C/D][Gm]
