PJ Harvey - Written On The Forehead: chords

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

C              Em          D
Date palms and orange and tangerine trees
C                   Em       D
And eyes that are crying for everything

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

So I talked to an old man by the generator
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn
Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire
He was standing on the gravel by the fetid river
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn
Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire
He turned to me and then surveyed the scene
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn
Said "War is here in our beloved city"
Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn
Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire

Some dove in the river and tried to swim away
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn
Through tons of sewage, fate written on their foreheads
Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire
Date palms and orange and tangerine trees
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn
And eyes are crying for everything
Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn
Blood, blood and fire

F       Am           C            G
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn
Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn
Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn
Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn
Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn
Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, burn, burn
