BURNING DOWN
{intro: A Asus2 A Asus2 X 4}
A Bm
From the back of my neck, oh oh oh
A Bm
Wired a glass jaw, oh oh
A Bm
Plantation burning your boat is coming in
A Bm
Strum your jew’s-harp, you’re reeking gin
E F#m
Running water in a sinking boat
E F# E
Going under but they’ve got your goat
{chords are like intro}
Burning down — my hands are tied my feet are bound
Burning down — can’t you see that my hands are bound
Johnny Mike is reading in the yard
His story’s timely, oh oh oh
What river is it anyway, radio
Not in a boat, in your ear
Bm C#m
You pick your island in the sun
Bm C# E
Take your island off he’s got a gun
{chords are like intro}
Burning down — my hands are tied my feet are bound
Burning down — can’t you see that my hands are bound
He’s cooking in the woods, a brush fire in your neck
Feeling mighty mighty, oh oh oh
Bm C#m
You can pick your island in the sun
Bm C# E
Take your island off he’s got a gun
