Burn Down This Town - Rosanne Cash
Chorded By: Robert Lees

----------------------------------

Intro: 


The hills are burning, fields turn to steel

the big house is haunted with what we don't feel
                                         
the streets are empty, no one ever comes around
                                                 
so you know they won't make a sound burn down this town


My lungs are blackened with the smoke and sobs

so just be a man and finish the job
                                               
and i'll watch you from this distant place i've found
                                              
oh you know I won't make a sound burn down this town

Chorus:

--

                                  --
The clapboard jail and the co-op board
                                 --
the garden club and the bedroom door
                                     --
the sprinkled lawn and the mirrored hall
            
the Christmas tree
            
just burn it all

( over Instrumental)

The sky is falling with ash and mud
we gotta make the promise, yeah blood to blood
so shut the door then slowly turn around
now you know you can't make a sound burn down this town

The clapboard jail and the co-op board
the garden club and the bedroom door
the sprinkled lawn and the mirrored hall
the Christmas tree
just burn it all
burn down this town
