The Only Ones - "Flaming Torch"
Album: Even Serpents Shine
It's a tragedy that this band's songs aren't tabbed anywhere. They're
brilliant and really not that difficult to work out or play, even for me, a
total amateur. So I've taken on the task of posting some of their songs'
chords for your rockin' pleasure, and hopefully others will take the cue and
work out some more of their songs and more detailed tabs. Please point out
corrections as needed, since they may not be perfect. Long live The Only Ones!
"Flaming Torch"
(I'm not sure how the band plays it, but I use barre chords or power chords
and it sounds fine along with the recording.)
Now I know what you want
But I don't know how to give it
I think our life together has been cursed
I don't know which one of us is worse
Is it the one who lies or the one who hurts
It's a crime, it's a crime
I'm always in the wrong place in the wrong time
You say I should be there
You don't tell me where you're living
It serves as ammunition for my thirst
I practice spiritual research
Among the ancient ruins covered in dirt
It's my work, it's my work
I'm always in the wrong place in the wrong term
True love is your guiding light
It's like a flaming torch
You can see magic in the night
As the flames start to distort
I can hear bells again
I hope they never stop 'em ringing
They remind me of the distant past
Looking through a window, stained-glass
When the pledge was made and the spell was cast
It's a crime, it's a crime
I'm always in the wrong place at the wrong time
