The sky is red, I don't understand;

she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
The city's ablaze, the town's on fire;

We were fools, we called her "liar";

All I hear is "Burn!

I didn't believe she was devil's sperm;
she said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn!
When I leave there's no return!"
The people laughed till she said, "Burn!
Warning came, no one cared;
earth was shakin', we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared;
Still I hear "Burn!

   GmGm Piano Chord 

You know we had no time.

The sky is red, I don't understand;
past midnight, I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned;
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
Warning came, no one cared;
earth was shakin, we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"

"Use pull-offs and hammer-ons....this is basically a two finger riff."


"Sorry, but I think your riff is slightly incorrect. I think this is more
accurate:
