Last night, I saw the fire burning on the palace lawn
O'er the land, humble subjects watched with mixed emotion
Who is burning, who is burning, the effigy??
Who is burning, who is burning, effigy??
 
Last night, I saw the fire spreading to the palace door
Silent majority wasn't keeping quiet anymore
Who is burning, who is burning, the effigy??
Who is burning, who is burning, effigy??
 
Last night, I saw the fire spreading to the countryside
In the morning, few were left to watch the ashes die
Who is burning, who is burning, the effigy??
Who is burning, who is burning, effigy??
Why? Why? Why? Effigy!

D5                                 G5
Thinkin' I'm the devil's heatwave, what you burn in your crazy mind?
D5           C5         G5
Saw a slight distraction standin' by the road;

Cruisin' on thru the junction, I'm flyin' 'bout the speed of sound,

Noticin' peculiar function, I ain't no roller coaster show me down.

D5                                           G5
Wond'ring if you're goin' in my way, won't you give a poor boy a ride?

 Well, you wake up in the mornin'
                            D
 You hear the work bell ring
                                A7
 And they march you to the table

Ain't no food upon the table
                         D
And no fork up in the pan
                                  A7
But you'd better not complain, boy
                               D
You'll get in trouble with the man

                         A7
By the way she wears her apron
                     D   
And the clothes she wore
                  G
Umbrella on her shoulder
                       D 
Piece of paper in her hand

Shine the ever-lovin' light on me
 
Verse 3:
                   G
If you're ever in Houston
                      D
Ooh, you'd better do right
                  A7
You'd better not gamble
                      D
And you'd better not fight
                      G
Or the sheriff will grab ya
                           D
And the boys'll bring you down
