The Only Ones - "Flaming Torch"
Album: Even Serpents Shine
It's a tragedy that this band's songs aren't tabbed anywhere. They're
brilliant and really not that difficult to work out or play, even for me, a
total amateur. So I've taken on the task of posting some of their songs'
chords for your rockin' pleasure, and hopefully others will take the cue and
work out some more of their songs and more detailed tabs. Please point out
corrections as needed, since they may not be perfect. Long live The Only Ones!
"Flaming Torch"
(I'm not sure how the band plays it, but I use barre chords or power chords
and it sounds fine along with the recording.)
[D]Now I know [A]what you want
[Bm]But I don't know how to [G]give it
[D]I think our life to[A]gether has been [G]cursed
I don't [Em]know which one of us is [A]worse
[Em]Is it the one who [G]lies or the one who [A]hurts
[D]It's a crime, [G]it's a crime
[D]I'm always in the wrong [A]place in the wrong [D]time
[D]You say I [A]should be there
[Bm]You don't tell me where you're [G]living
[D]It serves as ammu[A]nition for my [G]thirst
[Em]I practice spiritual re[A]search
[Em]Among the ancient [G]ruins covered in [A]dirt
[D]It's my work, [G]it's my work
[D]I'm always in the wrong [A]place in the wrong [D]term
[A]True love is your guiding light
It's [G]like a flaming [D]torch
[A]You can see magic in the night
As the [B]flames start to dis[A]tort
[D]I can hear [A]bells again
[Bm]I hope they never stop 'em [G]ringing
[D]They remind me [A]of the distant [G]past
Looking [Em]through a window, stained-[A]glass
[Em]When the pledge was [G]made and the spell was [A]cast
[D]It's a crime, [G]it's a crime
[D]I'm always in the wrong [A]place at the wrong [D]time
