Pj Harvey - Written On The Forehead Chords

Polly plays the song with open chords and a reverb pedal, with distortion on the 
"Let it burn..." outro.

D G
People throwing dinars at the belly-dancers
In a sad circus by a trench of burning oil
C/G Em
People throw belongings; a lifetime's earnings
Among the scattered rubbish and suitcases on the sidewalk

C Em D
And eyes that are crying for everything

D G
Let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn.
Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire.

D G
So I talked to an old man by the generator
He was standing on the gravel by the fetid river
C Em D
He turned to me and then surveyed the scene
Said, "War is here in our beloved city."

D G
Let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn.
Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire.

C Em D
Some dove in the river and tried to swim away
Through tons of sewage fate written on their foreheads
With eyes that are crying for everything

D G
Let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn.
Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire.

F5 Am C G
Let it burn, let it burn!
Let it burn, let it burn!
Let it burn, let it burn!
Let it burn, let it burn!
