Verse: 
C           Am  Em             C 
  I knew a girl  with sad blue eyes 
             Am      Em              C 
  But at the feast I lost my psychic prize 
           Am           F             Am 
  I did forget what the tarot maid did say 
C          Am Em          C 
  I burn today,  I burn today 

verse 2: 
C               Am    Em         C 
  Our house was filled with many birds 
              Am       Em               C 
  She said to me I can understand their words 
                Am   F        Am 
  The land will shake so run away 
C          Am Em          C 
  I burn today,  I burn today

C              Am Em             C 
  She said our fun, its time has come 
                Am          Em              C 
  Hold my heart strings and have yourself a strum

Verse 5; 
  I ran so fast in to the North 
  No snow on me then so he said thence forth 
  I let snow fall on a frozen yesterday 
  I burn today I burn today 

Verse 6: 
  If my head is hanging down 
  I feel her arms and her legs are all around 
  And we make love beside the waterway 
  I burn today I burn today 

Chorus: 
  Yes today I will burn 
  For the times I did not learn 

Verse: 
  Behold the rose of Jericho 
  How many lives I really do no know 
  Though with the rain I know it will return 
 C        Am   Em        C    Am   F   C 
  Today I burn,  Today I burn
