Get Started Start A Fire Lyrics

    pre>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 /pre>
