Written on the Forehead PJ Harvey
Polly plays the song with open chords and a reverb pedal, with distortion on the
"Let it burn..." outro.
[D]Pe[G]ople throwing dinars at the belly-dancers
In a sad circus by a trench of burning oil
[C/G]Peop[Em]le throw belongings; a lifetime's earnings
Among the scattered rubbish and suitcases on the sidewalk
[C]An[Em]d e[D]yes that are crying for everything
[D]Le[G]t it burn, let it burn, burn, burn.
Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire.
[D]So[G] I talked to an old man by the generator
He was standing on the gravel by the fetid river
[C]He[Em] tu[D]rned to me and then surveyed the scene
Said, "War is here in our beloved city."
[D]Le[G]t it burn, let it burn, burn, burn.
Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire.
[C]So[Em]me [D]dove in the river and tried to swim away
Through tons of sewage fate written on their foreheads
With eyes that are crying for everything
[D]Le[G]t it burn, let it burn, burn, burn.
Blood, blood, blood, blood and fire.
[F5]Let[Am] it[C] b[G]urn, let it burn!
Let it burn, let it burn!
Let it burn, let it burn!
Let it burn, let it burn!
