[Verse 1]
[G]Of [C]Fir[G]e Fire Fire I Sing
That [C]Have [G]More Cause To [A]Cry![G]
In The Great Chamber Of The King
[C]A City [G]Mounted [A]High![G]
Old London [C]That Hath [G]Stood In State
[C]Abo[G]ve Six Hundred Years
In Six Days Space Woe [C]And Alas
Is [G]Burned And Drowned In
[C]Tears![G]
The Second Of September
In The Middle Time Of Night
In Pudding Lane It Did Begin!
To [C]Burn And [G]Blaze Outright
Where All That [C]Gazed [G]Were So Amazed
[C]At [G]Such A Furious Flame!
They Knew Not How Or [C]What To Do
[G]That Might Expel The[C] Same![G]
It Swallowed Fish Street Hill And Straight
It [C]Licked [G]Up Lombard Street!
Down Cannon Street In Blazing State
It Flew With Flaming Feet!
Down To The Thames
Whose Shrinking Stream[C]s
[G]Began To Ebb Away
As Thinking That The [C]Power Of Fate
Had [G]Brought The Latter [C]Day![G]
With Hands And Feet In Every Street
They [C]Pack Up [G]Goods And Fly!
Pitch Tar And Oil Increase The Spoil
Old [C]Fish Street [G]'Gins To Fry!
The Fire 'Doth [C]Range Up [G]To The Change
[C]In [Am]Ev'ry [G]King Commands!
But In Despite Of [C]All It's Might
[G]The Star Told Found [C]A Stand[G]
At Temple Church And Holburn Bridge
And Pike Corner Still Stands!
The Water Did By Fire Besiege
At Alders Gate It Quenched!
At Cripple Gate Though Very Late
[C]And [G]'Neeth That Pullman Street
At Basinghall [C]The Fire Did Fall
We [G]Were All Joyed To See't!
[C][G][C][G]
Although The Fire Be Fully Quenched
Yet [C]If Our [G]Sins Remain
And That In Them We Still
Are Drenched
The Fire Will Rage Again
Or What Is Worse A Heavier Curse
[C]In [G]Famine Will Appear
Where Shall We Tread
When [C]Want Of [G]Bread
And Hunger Draweth [C]Near[G]
If This Do Not Reform Our Lives
A [C]Worse [G]Thing Will Succeed!
Our Kindred Children [G]And Our Wives
Will Die For Want Of Bread!
When Famine Comes
'Tis Not Our Drum[C]s
Our [G]Ships Our Horse Or Foot!
That Can Defend But [C]If We Mend
We [G]Never [D]Shall [G]Come To't!
