Deep Purple - Burn

(Blackmore/Lord/Paice/Coverdale)

From "Burn" (1974)

Key: B flat

Intro

Verse 1

The sky is red, I don't understand;

past midnight I still see the land.

People are sayin' the woman is damned,

she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.

The city's ablaze, the town's on fire;

the woman's flames are reachin' higher.

We were fools, we called her "liar";

All I hear is "Burn!"

Verse 2

(verse 1 chords)

I didn't believe she was devil's sperm;

she said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn!

When I leave there's no return!"

The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"

Warning came, no one cared;

earth was shakin', we stood and stared.

When it came no one was spared;

Still I hear "Burn!"

Chorus

You know we had no time,

we could not even try,

You know we had no time.

Verse 3

(verse 1 chords)

The sky is red, I don't understand;

past midnight, I still see the land.

People are sayin' the woman is damned;

she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.

Warning came, no one cared;

earth was shakin, we stood and stared.

When it came no one was spared.

Still I hear "Burn!"

RIFF SUGGESTION 1: (from Scott Hannon (hannon@umbc.edu):

"Thanks for the post...since the guitar riff was omitted, here it is

(from memory, so no guarantee!)

e|-----------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------|
G|------5-3-0-5------3-3--0-5--0-3-------5-3-0-5----5-3-0----|
D|------5-3-0-5------3-3--0-5--0-3-------5-3-0-5----5-3-0-3--|
A|--------------------------------------------------------3--|
E|---3-------------3------------------3-------------------1--|

"Use pull-offs and hammer-ons....this is basically a two finger riff."

RIFF SUGGESTION 2: (from Tomas (etxtlm@sta.ericsson.se))

"Sorry, but I think your riff is slightly incorrect. I think this is more

accurate:

(also from memory, no guarantees)"

G|------3-2-0-5------3-2-0-5--0-3------3-2-0-5------3-2-0----|

E|---3-------------3------------------------------3------(1)-|

RIFF SUGGESTION 3: (from rps92@ecs.soton.ac.uk (Richard Swann))

"Well just to give my two cents' worth, I think the riff should be played

like this:

B|-----------------------------------------------------------|
G|---0--3-2-0-5----0-3-2-0-5----3------3-2-0-5----0-3-2-0----|
D|---0--3-2-0-5----0-3-2-0-5----3------3-2-0-5----0-3-2-0-3--|
A|--------------------------------------------------------3--|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------|

"...but I know I play a whole load of Purple riffs differently to the way the

b'stard in black does (I know he plays Space Truckin' differently to me)"
