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
