ADRIAN BELEW - BURNED BY THE FIRE WE MAKE
As played on the amazing record "acoustic".


         B-           B-open
And when Man gained dominion
     B-           B-open
over land and the oceans
    B-              B-open
he began to harm the planet
F#         G               A
with his asphalt and his toxins
       B-             B-open
and to lay the forest bare
       B-             B-open
and to poison even the air
       B-           B-open
and he killed every beast
    F#         G            A
and taught the seas how to bleed
G                     A
Burned by the fire we make,
        D
what a shame
         B-         B-open
Then the winds gave in
        B-           B-open
and the rain knew no season
        B-          B-open
and the sun came to beat
F#    G                  A
on a land of sand and diseases
         B-          B-open
and when God looked down
        B-                  B-open
on the earth and saw it was broken
         B-     B-open F#  G
then the tears of God fell down
                       A
through a hole in the ozone
G                     A
Burned by the fire we make
            D
     what a shame

G D
     This is the nature of the human race
G D
     to kill off anything that gets in our way
G D             D/C#         D/B         D/A
     poor Mother Earth we disfigured her face
G         G/f#          E           E/F#
Man is the maker of his own disgrace
G                     A
Burned by the fire we make
        D
what a shame

Of course, fell free to make this tab better.
I did my best, but Adrian is a monster guitarist and he does some strange chord; he’s a 
he’s the hystory, and I’m only a nut.
But this is my tribute to him.
Thank you Ade.
