A
Down at the court house they're ringin' the flag down
G
Long black line of
D
cars snakin' slow through
A
town
Red sheets snappin' on the line
G
With this
D
ring will you
A
be mine
The fuse is burning
G  D
Shut out the
A
lights
The fuse is burning
G  D
Come on let me do you
A
right

Trees on fire with the first fall's frost
G
Long black line in
D
front of Holy
A
Cross
Blood moon risin' in a sky of black dust
G
Tell me
D
Baby who do
A
you trust?
The fuse is burning
G  D
Shut out the
A
lights
The fuse is burning
G  D
Come on let me do you
A
right

Bm
Tires on the highway hissin' that something's coming
You can feel the
D
wires in the tree tops
A
hummin'
Bm
Devil's on the horizon line
Your
D
skin and I'm
A
alive

Quiet afternoon in the empty house
G
On the edge of the
D
bed you slip off your
A
blouse
The room is burning with the noon sun
G
Your bittersweet taste on my tongue
The fuse is burning
G  D
Shut out the
A
lights
The fuse is burning
G  D
Come on let me do you
