Intro 1
(E minor) (D major) (A major) (E minor) (D major) (A major)
Verse 1
Back in (A major)
(E minor) the summer of 66
London (D major) homes weren't made (A major) of bricks
They were (E minor) made of mud and
straw and sticks
Crammed (D major) in tight so they (A major) would fit
Within (C major) the Roman walls (B major) they'd sit
All breed (E minor) in' lice and rat (A major) s and ticks
An (A minor) (C major) d that was just about
the (B major) state of it
Before (E minor) the fire (A major) of six (G major) ty
-six (A major) (G major) (A major) (G major) (A major) (C major)
They (B major) say (E minor) Tom Farriner went to bed
Tired (D major) from all day bak (A major) in' bread
Grate (E minor) ful for a little rest,
In (D major) his place the maid (A major) he left.
(C major) One spark the wind (B major) caressed,
And fan (E minor) so bright as if (A major) possessed,
It flew (C major) an uninvited (B major) guest,
Across (E minor) the room on a fiery
(A major) quest. (G major) (A major) (G major) (A major)
News (E minor) soon came from Pudding Lane
The (D major) Mayor said with some (A major) disdain
It's nothing (E minor) new to see a flame
Go (D major) and put it out (A major) again
(C major) Too late, much time (B major) had passed
The (E minor) fire had grown and spread (A major) too fast
So none (C major) could stand before (B major) its blast
By the (E minor) time their blood was (A major)
tithering past (G major) (A major) (G major) (A major) (G major) (A major)
(E minor) Ludgate, Newgate, Aldersgate,
Cripplegate
Flames (D major) left streets and people (A major) ran away
From (E minor) the east the wind blew
all the day
(D major) Conflagration win (A major) ning all the way
(C major) Took days, but the (B major) wind turned east
And (E minor) headed back over it
(A major) s blackened feast
Starved (C major) of fuel, it soon (B major) decreased
So the (E minor) fire breaks could
hold the (A major) beast (G major) (A major) (G major)
(A major) And churches (E minor) numbering eighty -four
Were burned (D major) to cinders, (A major) roof to floor
13 (E minor) ,000 houses and
more were swept (D major) away
in the (A major) flame and the roar
An (C major) d with the ash and with (B major) the flame
there came (E minor) a need to ap (A major) point the blame
The (C major) French and Dutchmen fit (B major) the frame
so Paranoida (E minor) won (G major) the (A major) day (G major) (A major) (G major) (A major) (B major) (C major)
(E minor) Robert Hubert later cried
He said (D major) the blaze, so (A major) he was tried
Although (E minor) the judge thought he had lied
He was (D major) convicted, (A major) hung and died
Strange (C major) it is to (B major) note the names
Of the (E minor) jury members there (A major) that day
Three (C major) were faraners,
(B major) the same as the (E minor) Baker men from
Pud (A major) ding Lane (G major) (A major) (G major) (A major) (G major)
(A major) To Ludgate, (E minor) Newgate,
Aldersgate,
Cripplegate,
(D major) Flameslip
Streets and people (A major) ran away
From (E minor) the east the wind blew all the day,
(D major) conflagration win (A major) ning all the way
The (C major) baker never bore (B major) the blame,
he said (E minor) his fires were out (A major) that day
The maid (C major) was first to burn (B major) away,
so he (E minor) lived to bake another
day (A major) (G major) (A major) (G major) (A major)
Back (E minor) in the summer of 66, London
(D major) Oatons (A major) weren't made of bricks
They were made (E minor) of mud and
straw and sticks,
(D major) Crammed inside so they would (A major)
fit. (E minor) (D major) (A major) (E minor) (D major) (A major)
(E minor)
