 BURNING SKY- The Jam
 D  Bm  A   D  Bm  A   D  Bm  A   D  Bm  A
  D                  Bm                   G                           A 
 How are things in your little world, I hope they're going well and you 
 are too
  D                    Bm                  G                     A
 Do you still see the same old crowd, the ones who used to meet every 
 Friday?  
  D                       Bm
 I'm really sorry that I can't be there
       G                                A
 But work comes first I'm sure you'll understand
   D                       Bm
 Things are really taking off for me
   G                            A                Bm
 Business is thriving and I'm showing a profit and
 Bm      A    D  Bm           A       D
 And in any case, it wouldn't be the same
             Bm        D             Bm           D
 Cause we've all grown up and we've got our own lives 
          Bm             D        Bm     D
 And the values that we had once upon a time
        Bm                    A
 Seem stupid now 'cause the rent must be paid
      Bm                     A           Bm  A  D
 And some bonds severed and others made
 Bm                A   D         Bm              A  D  
 Dit dit dit dit dit do n do   dit dit dit dit dit do n do
 D  Bm  A   D  Bm  A   D  Bm  A   D  Bm  A
 
  D                       Bm             G                   A
 Now I don't want you to get me wrong, ideals are fine when you are young
   D                  Bm                      G              A           
 Bm 
 And I must admit we had a laugh, but that's all it was and ever will be cos
 Bm        A      D   Bm         A     D
 Cos the burning sky keeps a burning bright
         Bm          D            Bm     D
 And as long as it does, and it always will
             Bm         D           Bm     D
 There's no time for dreams when commerce calls
           Bm                          A
 And the taxman's shouting 'cause he wants his dough
          Bm                       A            Bm  A  D
 And the wheels of finance won't begin to slow
 Bm                A   D       Bm                A   D
 Dit dit dit dit dit do n do  dit dit dit dit dit do n do
         Bm      A   D         Bm  A  D            Bm     A  D          
 Bm  A  D
 Dit dit dit dit di do dit dit dit di do, dit dit dit dit di do dit dit 
 dit di do
           Bm                       A
 And it's only us realists who are gonna come through
                Bm                         A
 Cause there's only one power higher than that of truth 
                 Bm    A D             Bm   A  D   D Bm A  D Bm A  D Bm A  
 D Bm A
 And that's the burning sky, it's the burning sky
 
 Oh and by the way I must tell you, before I sign off I've got a meeting 
 next week
 With the head of a big corporate 
 I can't disclose who but I'm sure you all know him and  
 And the burning sky keeps a burning bright
 And it won't turn off til it's had enough
 It's the greedy bastard who won't give up
 And you're just a dreamer if you don't realise
 And the sooner you do will be the better for you
 And then we'll all be happy and we'll all be wise
 And we'll all bow down to the burning sky
 Dit dit dit dit dit do n do, dit dit dit dit do n do
 Dit dit dit dit di do dit dit dit di do, dit dit dit dit di do dit dit 
 dit di do
 Then we'll all be happy and we'll all be wise
 And together we will live beneath the burning sky
