The intro part, which reappears in various forms throughout the song, is basically an
eight-count C C F, with three counts on each of the C's and two counts on the F... if
that makes any sense at all. It's easier to understand if you have the song playing
along with you the first few times.
[Intro]
[C] [C] [F] [C] [C] [F] [C] [C] [F] [C] [C] [F]
[Verse 1]
[C]Somewhere high in t[C]he desert near a curtain of blue[F] [C]
[Am]St. Anne's skirts are billowi[G]ng
But dow[C]n here in the city of the [C]lime lights[F] [C]
The fan[Am]s of Santa Ana are withering[G]
And you can't d[C]eny that living is eas[C]y[F] [C]
If you neve[Am]r look behind the scenery[G]
It's s[C]howtime for dry clime[F]s[C]
And bedl[Am]am is dreamin[G]g of rain[C] [(C] [C] [F] [C)]
[Cborus]
[Am]When th[G]e hi[Am]lls of Los Ange[G]les are burning[F] [C] [(C] [G] [Am)]
[Am]Palm trees are candl[G]es in the murder wind[F] [C] [(C] [G] [Am)]
So many lives a[Am]re on the breeze[B]
Even the stars [E]are ill at ease[Am]
[Am]And Los Angeles is burning[G] [C] [(C] [C] [F] [C] [C] [F] [C] [C] [F] [C] [C] [F)]
[Verse 2]
[C]This is no[C]t a tes[F]t[C]
Of the emer[Am]gency broadcast system[G]
Where Malibu[C] fires and [C]radio towers[F] [C]
[Am]Conspire to danc[G]e again
And I canno[C]t believe [C]the media Mecca[F] [C]
They're only trying to[Am] peddle reality[G]
Catch it on pr[C]ime time, sto[C]ry at n[F]ine[C]
The who[Am]le world is going ins[G]ane[C] [(C] [C] [F] [C)]
[Cborus]
[Am]When th[G]e hi[Am]lls of Los Ange[G]les are burning[F] [C] [(C] [G] [Am)]
[Am]Palm trees are candl[G]es in the murder wind[F] [C] [(C] [G] [Am)]
So many lives a[Am]re on the breeze[B]
Even the stars [E]are ill at ease[Am]
[Am]And Los Angeles is burning[G] [C] [(C] [C] [F] [C] [C] [F] [C] [C] [F] [C] [C] [F)]
[Bridge]
A placard reads[F]
"The End of Days[C]"
Jacarand[F]a boughs are bending in th[G]e haze[Am]
More a questi[F]on than a curse[G]
How could Hell be a[C]ny worse?[G] [Am]
The flames are stunning[F]
The camera's running[G]
So take warning
