Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
I wish that Joan of Arc
wouldn't hang around the park
pronouncing that she won't get burned again
Her arm is very shiny
and her message is divine
but I wish she'd take a day off now and then
She says it clears your head
when you come back from the dead
with your sword as sharp as anything that cuts
And to prove it she bisected
three young tourists from Utrecht
which rapidly dis-played a lot of guts
She says we need to raise a brand new army
and the flag of France so proudly she unfurled.
and the people that she hated will be neatly bifurcated
and the British will no longer rule the world.
She says it was a mistake
to let them burn her at the stake
and she learned a lesson back there in the flames
So she's going to kill the queen
and then she'll rescue old Orleans
and it's really hard to hang around with saints.
I think I ought to tell
her that the English left in failure
and they don't go back to France except on hols.
But I saw her vivisect a man
who wanted to correct her
and the playground soon re-sembled grand guignol
She says we need to raise a brand new army
And she marched us round until we couldn't stand
She says the nation she abhors will soon be writhing on the floor
And the British will no longer rule her land
And she's waiting for the dauphin
who will come across the ocean,
And knows that God agrees with her complaints
So I'm hoping that she'll ignore
my English accent in her war
'Cause it's really hard to hang around with saints
She says we need to raise a brand new army
and the flag of France so proudly she unfurled.
and the people that she hated will be neatly bifurcated
and the British will no longer rule
and the British will no longer rule
and the British will no longer rule the world
