 C    D
Last night,
   G          C       E
I saw a fire burning on,
                E7
the palace lawn.
C         D
Over the land,
     G               C              E
the humble subjects watched in mixed,
        E7
emotion.

Chorus:
  C     D
Who is burnin?
 G      C     E
Who is burnin?
       E7
Effigy.
 C      D
Who is burnin?
 G      C     E
Who is burnin?
      E7
Effigy.

Last night
I saw the fire spreading to
The palace door
Silent majority
Weren't keeping quiet
Anymore

Chorus

Last night
I saw the fire spreading to
The country side
In the morning
Few were left to watch
The ashes die

Chorus
