Elton John - Burn Down The Mission: chords

     G		       Em	     A#/C
You tell me there's an angel in your tree
D#		G/D	        A/C#  Dsus4
Did he say he'd come to call on me
G			Em7sus4         A#/C
For things are getting desperate in our home
	      C#dim7	    G/D	      D       C G/B Am7
Living in the parish of the restless folks I know

G	        F		 C		  G
Everybody now bring your family down to the riverside
F		     C		             G
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
  G/B		       C		   G
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
      G		      C6/G		  A#/C
It's time we put the flame torch to their keep

Chorus:
C#	      G#
Burn down the mission
F#
If we're gonna stay alive
C#		       G#
Watch the black smoke fly to heaven
	F#
See the red flame light the sky
D#/A#	      A#
Burn down the mission
	G#
Burn it down to stay alive
	 D#/A#		A#
It's our only chance of living
	     G#		    C#  A#/C
Take all you need to live inside

Deep in the woods the squirrels are out today
My wife cried when they came to take me away
But what more could I do just to keep her warm
Than burn, burn, burn, burn, down the mission walls

Now everybody, bring your family down to the riverside
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
It's time we put the flame torch to their keep

Chorus:
Burn down the mission, Lord
If we're gonna stay alive
Watch the black smoke fly to heaven
See the red flame light the sky
Burn down the mission, Lord
If we're gonna stay alive
It's our only chance of living
Take all you need to live inside
