Joan Of Arc

Written by Leonard Cohen

	  		Intro: G 

          G                   D 
Now the flames they followed Joan of Arc 
C                   G 
As she came riding through the dark 
A                   D 
No moon to keep her armour bright 
    A                     G                 D         
No man to get her through this very smoky night 

G                   D 
She said, "I'm tired of the war 
C                       G 
I want the kind of work I had before 
A                    D 
A wedding dress or something white 
A              G            D         A 
To wear upon my swollen appetite." 

D                               Am 
La la la, la la la, la la la la la la 
                C                  G  D               G 
La la la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la 

Well, I'm glad to hear you talk this way 
You know I've watched you riding every day 
And something in me yearns to win 
Such a cold and lonesome heroine 

"And who are you?" she sternly spoke 
To the one beneath the smoke 
"Why, I'm fire," he replied 
"And I love your solitude, I love your pride." 

La la la, la la la, la la la la la la 
La la la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la 

"Then fire, make your body cold 
I'm going to give you mine to hold," 
Saying this she climbed inside 
To be his one, to be his only bride 

And deep into his fiery heart 
He took the dust of Joan of Arc 
And high above the wedding guests 
He hung the ashes of her wedding dress 

La la la, la la la, la la la la la la 
La la la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la 

It was deep into his fiery heart 
He took the dust of Joan of Arc 
And then she clearly understood 
If he was fire, oh then she must be wood 

I saw her wince, I saw her cry 
I saw the glory in her eye 
Myself I long for love and light 
But must it come so cruel, and oh so bright? 

La la la, la la la, la la la la la la 
La la la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la
