E
Midnight in the Village
A
Seeger lights the candles
      E
From Bitter End to Gaslight
 A
Baez leaves the stage
E
Ochs takes notes
           A
When the black girl and guitar
       E
Burn together hot in rage
        A                E A
You've got what it takes
             E  A
You say too much

Chorus:
   Em
Oh you will set the world babe
D                          C
You will set the world on fire
Em
I can work the scene and
D                  C
I can see the magazines
Em
I can hear the nation
D                       C
I can hear the nation cry
Em
You will set the world babe
D                          A#
You will set the world on fire
                    C
You will set it on fire

Kennedy would kill for
the lines that you’ve written
Van Ronk says to Bobby
"she’s the next real thing"
Crouched in the half light,
screaming like a banshee
You re in the boat babe,
we're in the water
You say too much

Chorus

Chorus:
Oh you will set the world babe
You will set the world on fire
I can work the scene and
I can see the magazines
I can hear the nation
I can hear the nation cry
You will set the world babe
You will set the world on fire
You will set it on fire
Oh you will set the world babe
You will set the world on fire
I can work the scene and
I can see the magazines
I can hear the nation
I can hear the nation cry
You will set the world babe
You will set the world on fire
You will set it on fire
