Tom Jones

Burning Down The House

by Tom Jones
Tom Jones

Biography:

Sir Thomas Jones Woodward, KBE (born 7 June 1940), best known by his stage name, Tom Jones, is a Welsh pop singer particularly noted for his powerful voice. He was born in Treforest, near Pontypridd in South Wales.

He rose to fame in the mid-1960s, with an exuberant live act which included wearing tight breeches and billowing shirts, in an Edwardian style popular amongst his peers at the time. He was known for his overt sexuality, before this was as common as it became in subsequent years.

Burning Down the House - Tom Jones and The Cardigans
Originally written and recorded by Talking Heads in 1983

[Intro]
| F# | E | F# -

F# E B
Fighting fire with fire

[Verse 1]
F# E
Watch out you might get what you're after
F# E B
Cool babies strange but not a stranger
F# E F# B
I'm an ord-in-ar-y guy
G# E B
Burning down the house

F# E
Hold tight wait till the party's over
F# E
Hold tight we're in for nasty weather
F# E F#
There has got to be a way
G# E
Burning down the house

[Verse 2]
F# E
Here's your ticket pack your bag: time for jumpin' overboard
F# E B
The transportation is here
F# E
Close enough but not too far, Maybe you know where you are
F# E B
Fightin' fire with fire

F# E
All wet hey you might need a raincoat
F# E B
Shakedown dreams walking in broad daylight
F# E F#
Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees
G# E
Burning down the house

[Verse 3]
F# E
It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself
F# E B
Gonna come in first place
F# E
People on their way to work baby what did you except
F# E B
Gonna burst into flame

F# E B
Fighting fire with fire
F# E
Fighting fire with fire
G# E
Burning down the house

[Verse 4]
F# E
My house out of the ordinary
F# E B
That's right Don't want to hurt nobody
F# E F#
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
G# E B
Burning down the house

F# E
Watch out you might get what you're after
F# E B
Cool babies strange but not a stranger
F# E F#
I'm an ord-in-ar-y guy
G# E
Burning down the house

[Bridge]
F# E
Three hundred sixty - five degrees
G# E
Burning down the house

F# E
Fightin' fire with fire
F# E
Fightin' fire with fire
F# E
Gonna burst into flame

F# E
Fightin' fire with fire
F# E
Fightin' fire with fire
F# E F#
Gonna burst into flame
G# E F#
Burning down the house
G# E
Burning down the house

[Outro]
F# E
No visible means of support and you have not seen nothin' yet
F# E
Everything's stuck together
F# E
I don't know what you expect staring into your TV set
F# E F#
Fightin' fire with fire
G# E F#
Burning down the house
G# E F#
Burning down the house
