Blue Oyster Cult - Burning For You

 
[intro guitar riff x3] 

          
Aahhhhhh  Aahhhhhhh  Ah!

                                
Home in the valley    Home in the city
                                    
Home isn’t pretty     Ain’t no home for me

Home in the darkness, Home on the highway
Home isn’t my way, Home I’ll never be

--             GG
     Burn out the day
--             GG
     Burn out the night
                                      -
I can’t see no reason to put up a fight
                                    - -
I’m living for givin’ the devil his due
--                                         --   
     And I’m burnin’, I’m burnin’, I’m burnin’ for you
--                                           [riff]
     I’m burnin’, I’m burnin’, I’m burnin’ for you

          
Aahhhhhh  Aahhhhhhh  Ah!

(chords as above)     

Time is the essence, Time is the season
Time ain’t no reason, Got no time to slow
Time everlasting, Time to play b-sides
Time ain’t on my side, Time I’ll never know

--             GG
     Burn out the day
     Burn out the night
                                                        -
I’m not the one to tell you what’s wrong and what’s right
                                                      - -
I’ve seen suns that were freezing and lives that were through
--                                       --   
And I’m burnin’, I’m burnin’, I’m burnin’ for you
I’m burnin’, I’m burnin’, I’m burnin’ for you...
