Los Angeles Is Burning Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][C]

[Verse 1]
Somewhere [C]high in the
desert near [F]a curtain of [C]blue
[Am]Saint Ann's [C]skirts are [Am]bil l[G]owing
But [C]down here in the city
[F]of [C]limelights
[Am]The fans of Santa Ana are [G]withering

[Verse 2]
And you [C]can't deny the living is [F]easy[C]
If you [Am]never look be[C]hind the [G]scenery
[C]It's [F]showtime for dry [C]climes
And [Am]Bedlam is [G]dreaming of rain
[C][F]

[Verse 3]
[C]
When [Am]the hills of Los [G]Angeles
are [F]burn[C]ing[Am]
Palm trees are [G]candles in
the [F]murder [C]wind
So [Am]many lives are on the [E]breeze
Even [Am]the stars are ill at [F]ease
And Los [Am]Angeles is [G]burning

[Interlude 1]
[C]

[Verse 4]
[C]This is not a [F]test
[C]Of the eme[Am]rgency bro[C]adcast sys[G]tem
When [C]Malibu fires and [F]radio
[C]tower[Am]s
Conspire to [G]dance again

[Verse 5]
And I can[C]not believe the media [F]Mecca
[C]They're only try[Am]ing to ped[C]dle rea[G]lity,
catch it [C]on
Prime[F]time, story at [C]nine
The [Am]whole world is [G]going
insane
[C][F]

[Verse 6]
[C]
[Am]When the hills of Los [G]Angeles
are [F]burn[C]ing[Am]
Palm trees are [G]candles in
the [F]murder [C]wind
So [Am]many lives are on the [E]breeze
Even [Am]the stars are ill at [F]ease
And Los [Am]Angeles is [G]burning
[C]

[Verse 7]
A placard [F]reads [Fm]the end[G]
[F]of [C]days[F]
Jacaranda boughs are
[G]bending in the [Am]haze
More a [F]question than a [G]curse
How could [C]hell be [G]any [Am]worse?
The flames are [F]starting
The camera's [G]running
So take [C]warning

[Interlude 2]
[F][C][F][C][G][C][F]
[C][F][C][G][C][F][C][F][C][G][C]

[Verse 8]
When the [Am]hills of Los [G]Angeles
are [F]burn[C]ing[Am]
Palm trees are [G]candles in
the [F]murder [C]wind
So many [Am]lives are on the [E]breeze
Even [Am]the stars are ill at [F]ease
And Los [Am]Angeles is [G]burning

[Outro 1]
