Verse 1
(D major) Oh, the motor city's
burnin' (G major) (D major)
It ain't no thing in the world
that I can do (G minor) (D major)
Don't ya know
(G minor) Don't ya know the big D (D major) is
burnin'? (G minor)
Ain't no thing (D major) in the world
that Johnny can do
My home town burnin' down
(G minor) to the ground
(D major) Worser than Viet Nam
Well, it started on 12th and Clairmont,
this mornin'
I just don't know what it's all about
Well, it star (G major) ted on (G minor) 12th and Clairmont,
(D major) this mornin'
I don't know what it's all about
The fire wagon kept comin'
The snipers just wouldn't
let 'em put it out
Fire bomb bustin' all around me
An' soldiers was ev'rywhere
Well, (G major) fire (G minor) bomb fallin' all around me (D major)
And soldiers standin' ev'rywhere
I could hear the people
screaming (G minor) (D major)
Sirens fill the air
I don't know what the trouble is
I can't stay around to find it out
I don't know, (G minor) I don't know
What the trouble is,
this (D major) (G minor) (D major) mo'nin'
I just can't stay around
to find it out (C major) (D major)
Takin' my wife an my family
And little (G major) Johnny Lee is (G minor)
(D major) clearin' out
The motor city's burnin'
Ain't a (C major) thing (D major) that I can do
Well, (G minor) (D major) the motor city's burnin'
Ain't a thing that I can do
I just hope, people (G minor) (D major)
It'll never happen to you
Yes, yes, I could hear the fireman
FADES-
Said, 'Look, get outta (D major) here'
It's too hot.
