Joan of Arc Leonard Cohen
Now the fl[G]ames they followed J[D]oan of Arc
[C]As she came riding thr[G]ough the dark
[A]No moon to keep her [D]armour bright
No m[A]an to get her through th[G]is (dark and) very sm[D]oky night
[G]She said, "I'm tired [D]of the war
[C]I want the kind of work I h[G]ad before
A w[A]edding dress or s[D]omething white
To w[A]ear upon my[G] swollen appet[D]ite."
La la l[D]a, la la la, la la la la la l[Am]a
La la la la la l[C]a, la la la la la l[G]a, [D]la la la la la l[G]a
Well, I'm gl[G]ad to hear you t[D]alk this way
[C]You know I've watched you riding [G]every day
[A]And something in me y[D]earns to win
[A]Such a cold and[G] lonesome hero[D]ine
[G]"And who are you?" she st[D]ernly spoke
[C]To the one ben[G]eath the smoke
"Why[A], I'm fire,"[D] he replied
"And I l[A]ove your solit[G]ude, I love your pr[D]ide."
La la l[D]a, la la la, la la la la la l[Am]a
La la la la la l[C]a, la la la la la l[G]a, [D]la la la la la l[G]a
"Then f[G]ire, make your b[D]ody cold
[C]I'm going to give you m[G]ine to hold,"
[A]Saying this she cl[D]imbed inside
To b[A]e his one, to b[G]e his only br[D]ide
[G]And deep into his f[D]iery heart
[C]He took the dust of J[G]oan of Arc
[A]And high above the w[D]edding guests
He h[A]ung the ashes[G] of her wedding dr[D]ess
La la l[D]a, la la la, la la la la la l[Am]a
La la la la la l[C]a, la la la la la l[G]a, [D]la la la la la l[G]a
It was d[G]eep into his f[D]iery heart
[C]He took the dust of J[G]oan of Arc
[A]And then she clearly [D]understood
If h[A]e was fire, o[G]h then she must be w[D]ood
[G]I saw her wince,[D] I saw her cry
[C]I saw the glory [G]in her eye
[A]Myself I long for l[D]ove and light
But m[A]ust it come so cr[G]uel, and oh so br[D]ight?
La la l[D]a, la la la, la la la la la l[Am]a
La la la la la l[C]a, la la la la la l[G]a, [D]la la la la la l[G]a
