Jefferson's Torch Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I am [D]born in the reeds,
[G]I'm an idea of magnitude
Giving [D]birth to itself ad infin[A]itum
I am [Bm]Jefferson's torch [A]in a bright,
[G]stellar majesty

[Verse 2]
Oh I'm [D]burning, oh I'm [A]burning,
oh I'm [G]burning
Yes I'm [Bm]burning, oh I'm [A]burning,
yes [G]I'm burning for thee
[D]

[Verse 3]
We were measured in the dark by
[G]timetabled tragedy
There's [D]a real turn of age in dis[A]aster
Now I'm [Bm]firing a well our
[G]politicians gave to ruin

[Verse 4]
'Till I'm [D]burning, oh I'm [A]burning,
yes [G]I'm burning
Oh I'm [Bm]burning, oh I'm [A]burning,
yes [G]I'm burning for thee
[D]

[Verse 5]
River [G]run run run run run run
run river [D]through me
Through the [G]mud mud mud mud mud
Let me [Bm]feel, [A]let me feel, let [Em]me feel yo[G]u[D][A]
[Bm][G]

[Verse 7]
River [G]run run run run run run
run river [D]through me
Through the [G]mud mud mud mud mud

[Verse 8]
Now come [D]out from your cups,
find [G]your love in the doorways
Have a [D]care to fill the vessel of your [A]heart
Hold me [Bm]tight through the storms
And [G]the winds of revolution

[Verse 9]
And always [D]burning, oh he's [A]burning,
oh [G]he's burning
Oh he's [Bm]burning, yes he's [A]burning,
oh [G]he's burning
Oh he's [Bm]burning, yes he's [A]burning,
oh [G]he's burning for thee
