Thanx Kirk Anderson (kanderso@wheatonma.edu) for chords, he writes:

For the basic intro, verse, chorus riff play Em at fret 7

then pull off fingers 2, 3, and 4: voila the other chord: 777777,

though I don't strum the low E. (X77777 = Bm11)

Slide it up from fret 6 when you feel moved to. Rinse. Repeat.



Em Bm11 Em Bm11

The Mona Lisa's sister doesn't smile

Em Bm11 Em Bm11

She tried to pose but only for a while

Em Bm11 Em Bm11

Leonardo sent her home Since then she has lived alone

D C D C

With her few belongings and a copy Of a painting of herself unhappy

G C D

She is going to burn it when she's ready



Chorus:

Em Bm11 Em Bm11

Get started, start a fire (4 times)



Marilyn was lying all alone With an empty bottle by the phone

Kennedy was not around She was cold when she was found

But she'd gone where goddesses are sleeping

Where the molten tongues of flame are leaping

Or where the angel's hearts are heating (Instrumental VERSE, INTRO RPT)



Joan of Arc was burning at the stake Somebody had made a big mistake

She had lit a cigarette In an aiport where you get

Your fingers taken off for smoking.

Meanwhile up the road a factory's choking

The ones who killed her work there I'm not joking
