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

Our house was filled with many birds
She said to me, "I can understand their words"
The land will shake so run away
I burn today, I burn today

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

She said, "Our fun, its time has come
Hold my heart strings and have yourself a strum."
No nevermore, this song will we play
I burn today, I burn today

And as I drank in old Paris
She laid her cards just to see what she would see
Down by the water you'll find your happy days
I burn today, I burn today

Chorus

I ran so fast into the North
No snow on me, and so he said thenceforth
I let snow fall on frozen yesterday
I burn today
I burn today

And 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

Behold the rose of Jericho
How many lives I really do not know
Though with the rain I know it will return
Today I burn
Today I burn
