Graham Parker - Get Started Start A Fire lyrics

Your rating:

Thanx Kirk Anderson (kanderso@wheatonma.edu) for chords, he writes:
For the basic intro, verse, chorus riff play Em at fret 7
Then pull off fingers 2, 3, and 4: voila the other chord: 777777,
Though I don't strum the low E. (X77777 = Bm11)
Slide it up from fret 6 when you feel moved to. Rinse. Repeat.

Em               Bm11            Em        Bm11
The Mona Lisa's sister doesn't smile
Em                    Bm11        Em          Bm11
She tried to pose but only for a while
Em                 Bm11  Em                   Bm11
Leonardo sent her home   Since then she has lived alone
D                            C         D                        C
With her few belongings and a copy     Of a painting of herself unhappy
G                C                   D
She is going to burn it when she's ready

Chorus:
Em          Bm11       Em    Bm11
Get started, start a fire               (4 times)

Marilyn was lying all alone With an empty bottle by the phone
Kennedy was not around She was cold when she was found
But she'd gone where goddesses are sleeping
Where the molten tongues of flame are leaping
Or where the angel's hearts are heating (Instrumental VERSE, INTRO RPT)

Joan of Arc was burning at the stake  Somebody had made a big mistake
She had lit a cigarette  In an aiport where you get
Your fingers taken off for smoking.
Meanwhile up the road a factory's choking
The ones who killed her work there I'm not joking
