Intro: C....F C....F C....F C
[C]Somewhere high in the desert near a [F]curtain of a [C]blue
[Am]St. Anne's [F]skirts are billo[G]wing
But [C]down here in the city of the [F]lime [C]lights
The [Am]fans of santa ana are w[G]ithering
And you [C]can?t deny that living is [F]easy[C]
If you [Am]never look b[F]ehind the [G]scenery
It's [C]showtime for [F]dry [C]climes
Am G C....F C
And bedlam is dreaming of rain
CHORUS:
C [ch]Cb/C[/ch] Am G F C [ch]Cb/C[/ch]
When the hills of los angeles are burning
[Am]Palm trees are [G]candles in the [F]murder w[C]ind
So many [Am]lives are on the [E]breeze
Even the [Am]stars are ill at [F]ease
C G C....F C.....F C....F C
And los angeles is burning
This is not a test
Of the emergency broadcast system
Where malibu fires and radio towers
Conspire to dance again
And I cannot believe the media Mecca
They're only trying to peddle reality,
Catch it on prime time, story at nine
The whole world is going insane
When the hills of los angeles are burning
Palm trees are candles in the murder wind
So many lives are on the breeze
Even the stars are ill at ease
And los angeles is burning
BRIDGE:
C [ch]Cb/C[/ch] Am G
A placard reads
"the end of [C]days"
[C]Jaca[Am]randa boughs are [G]bending in the [Am]haze
More a [F]question than a [G]curse
C [ch]Cb/C[/ch] Am
How could hell be any worse?
The flames are [F]stunning
The cameras [G]running
So take [C]warning
RHYTHM DURING SOLO
