Los Angeles Is Burning - Bad Religion


[Intro]
C C F C C F C C F C C F

[Verse 1]
C                  C                                    F              C
Somewhere high in the desert near a curtain of blue
Am                           G
St. Anne's skirts are billowing
       C                         C              F      C
But down here in the city of the lime lights
       Am                              G
The fans of Santa Ana are withering
               C                     C           F  C
And you can't deny that living is easy
           Am                              G
If you never look behind the scenery
      C                    F    C
It's showtime for dry climes
        Am           G                 C     (C C F C)
And bedlam is dreaming of rain

[Chorus]
Am     G   Am             G                 F       C    (C G Am)
When the hills of Los Angeles are burning
Am                  G                    F          C          (C G Am)
Palm trees are candles in the murder wind
               Am                    B
So many lives are on the breeze
               E                     Am
Even the stars are ill at ease
Am                           G   C      (C C F C C F C C F C C F)
And Los Angeles is burning

[Verse 2]
C         C      F C
This is not a test
           Am                              G
Of the emergency broadcast system
            C          C            F       C
Where Malibu fires and radio towers
Am              G
Conspire to dance again
           C         C                         F    C
And I cannot believe the media Mecca
                      Am                    G
They're only trying to peddle reality
              C            C      F           C
Catch it on prime time, story at nine
       Am                   G       C          (C C F C)
The whole world is going insane

[Chorus]
Am     G   Am             G                 F       C    (C G Am)
When the hills of Los Angeles are burning
Am                  G                    F          C          (C G Am)
Palm trees are candles in the murder wind
               Am                    B
So many lives are on the breeze
               E                     Am
Even the stars are ill at ease
Am                           G   C      (C C F C C F C C F C C F)
And Los Angeles is burning

[Bridge]
                 F
A placard reads
                C
"The End of Days"
        F                         G                     Am
Jacaranda boughs are bending in the haze
             F                       G
More a question than a curse
                   C          G    Am
How could Hell be any worse?
                         F
The flames are stunning
                       G
The camera's running

So take warning

[Solo]

[Chorus]
Am     G   Am             G                 F       C    (C G Am)
When the hills of Los Angeles are burning
Am                  G                    F          C          (C G Am)
Palm trees are candles in the murder wind
               Am                    B
So many lives are on the breeze
               E                     Am
Even the stars are ill at ease
Am                           G   C      (C C F C C F C C F C C F)
And Los Angeles is burning
