Well I ain't got a dollar and I ain't got a dime
C G
But this fire in my chest, that's mine, all mine
Am F
Try to take it away, in my skin it should stay
C G Am F C G C
For the girl with the feather in her hair
C F
Well I ain't got a poem and I ain't got a prayer
C G
Got nothing to say so I just smoke and stare
Am F
The sun it'll boil on my skin as I stand
C G Am F
For the girl with the poem in her hand
C G C
For the girl with the poem in her hand
G F C
Play me a tune, let the music just croon from the window
G Am
Don't turn it down
G F
Let the fleas and the flies crawl over us now
C G Am
As we watch while it all goes down
G
See those clouds turning red

That's the girl with the fire in her hair

Now I never had seen such a beautiful scene
C G
She can't haul the jewels that she found on the beach
Am F
So I watch from afar as my eyes turn to stone
C G Am F
And I watched her just lying all alone
C G C
The girl with the diamonds in her bow
C F
And I long for an end, born a mule and all (?)
C G
But you know what they say, we all die alone
Am F
In my heart she's going everywhere that I go
C G Am F
Down in my grave she's there
