CAPO: 1

NOTE: The fast section on "the british will no longer rule" can be played as simply F#m 
- A - F#m if you're not so quick on the chords.

  F#5
I wish that Joan of Arc
          A5
wouldn't hang around the park
     D5                                B5
pronouncing that she won't get burned again
    F#5
Her arm is very shiny
         A5
and her message is divine
       D5                                B5
but I wish she'd take a day off now and then

    B5
She says it clears your head
          A5
when you come back from the dead
           F#5                             A5
with your sword as sharp as anything that cuts
        B5
And to prove it she bisected
              A5
three young tourists from Utrecht
        F#5    B5   A5       E5     F#5
which rapidly dis-played a lot of guts

     B5                                A5
She says we need to raise a brand new army
        F#5                              A5
and the flag of France so proudly she unfurled.
         B5                            A5
and the people that she hated will be neatly bifurcated
         F#5         B5  A5      E5       F#5
and the British will no longer rule the world.

         F#5
She says it was a mistake
             A5
to let them burn her at the stake
          D5                                 B5
and she learned a lesson back there in the flames
          F#5
So she's going to kill the queen
                 A5
and then she'll rescue old Orleans
          D5                               B5
and it's really hard to hang around with saints.

   B5
I think I ought to tell
              A5
her that the English left in failure
          F#5                               A5
and they don't go back to France except on hols.
      B5
But I saw her vivisect a man
     A5
who wanted to correct her
         F#5            B5  A5         E5     F#5
and the playground soon re-sembled grand guignol

     B5                                A5
She says we need to raise a brand new army
         F#5                                 A5
And she marched us round until we couldn't stand
              B5                              A5
She says the nation she abhors will soon be writhing on the floor
          F#5        B5  A5      E5       F#5
And the British will no longer rule her land

    F#5
And she's waiting for the dauphin
          A5
who will come across the ocean,
     D5                                 B5
And knows that God agrees with her complaints
        F#5
So I'm hoping that she'll ignore
            A5
my English accent in her war
             D5                               B5
'Cause it's really hard to hang around with saints

     B5                                A5
She says we need to raise a brand new army
        F#5                              A5
and the flag of France so proudly she unfurled.
         B5                            A5
and the people that she hated will be neatly bifurcated
         F#5         B5  A5      E5
and the British will no longer rule
         F#5         B5  A5      E5
and the British will no longer rule
         F#5         B5  A5      E5       F#5
and the British will no longer rule the world
