intro: G

[verse]

C           Am  Em             C
  I knew a girl  with sad blue eyes
             Am      Em              C
  But at the feast I lost my psychic prize
           Am           F             Am
  I did forget what the tarot maid did say
C          Am Em          C
  I burn today,  I burn today

[verse 2]

C               Am    Em         C
  Our house was filled with many birds
              Am       Em               C 
  She said to me I can understand their words
                Am   F        Am
  The land will shake so run away
C          Am Em          C
  I burn today,  I burn today


[chorus]

 G                 F
  Yes today I will burn
 Em              G
  For the times I did not learn


[break]

 C Am Em C
 
 C Am Em C
 
 C Am F  Am

 C Am Em C


[verse 3]

C              Am Em             C
  She said our fun, its time has come
                Am          Em              C
  Hold my heart strings and have yourself a strum
          Am   F                 Am
  No nevermore this song will we play
C          Am  Em         C
  I burn today,  I burn today

[verse 4 - same chords]
  And as I drank in old Paris
  She lay her cards just to see what she would see
  Down by the water you will find your happys days
  I burn today I burn today

[chorus]
 G                 F
  Yes today I will burn
 Em              G
  For the times I did not learn

[break]

 C Am Em C
 
 C Am Em C
 
 C Am F  Am

 C Am Em C


[verse 5]
  I ran so fast in to the North
  No snow on me then so he said thence forth
  I let snow fall on a frozen yesterday
  I burn today I burn today

[verse 6]
  If my head is hanging down
  I feel her arms and her legs are all around
  And we make love beside the waterway
  I burn today I burn today

[chorus]
  Yes today I will burn
  For the times I did not learn

[verse 
  Behold the rose of Jericho
  How many lives I really do no know
  Though with the rain I know it will return
 C        Am   Em        C    Am   F   C
  Today I burn,  Today I burn
