[Verse 1]
Em Bm Em Bm
The Mona Lisa's sister doesn't smile
Em Bm Em Bm
She tried to pose but only for a while
Em Bm Em Bm
Leonardo sent her home since then she has lived alone
D C
With her few belongings and a copy
D C
Of a painting of herself unhappy
G C D
She is going to burn it when she's ready
[Chorus]
Em Bm Em Bm
Get started, start a fire

Marilyn was lying all alone
Em Bm Em Bm
With an empty bottle by the phone
Em Bm Em Bm
Kennedy was not around she was cold when she was found
D C
But she'd gone where the goddesses are sleeping
D C
Where the molten tongues of flame are leaping
G C D
Or where the angel's hearts are beating - ahhh
[Chorus]
Em Bm Em Bm
Get started, start a fire
Em Bm Em Bm

Em Bm Em Bm
Joan of Arc was burning at the stake
Em Bm Em Bm
Somebody had made a big mistake
Em Bm Em Bm
She had lit a cigarette in an airport where you get
D C
All your fingers taken off for smoking
D C
Meanwhile up the road a factory's choking
G C D
The ones who killed her work there I'm not joking
[Chorus]
