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
