The Mona Lisa's sister doesn't smile
Em                    Bm          Em    Bm
She tried to pose but only for a while
Em                Bm   Em                  Bm
Leonardo sent her home since then she has lived alone
D                             C
With her few belongings and a copy
D                          C
Of a painting of herself unhappy
G               C                  D
She is going to burn it when she's ready

[Chorus]
    Em     Bm        Em       Bm
Get started, start a fire

Get started, start a fire

Marilyn was lying all alone
Em            Bm            Em     Bm
With an empty bottle by the phone
Em          Bm         Em                Bm
Kennedy was not around she was cold when she was found
D                                      C
But she'd gone where the goddesses are sleeping
D                                     C
Where the molten tongues of flame are leaping
  G          C                  D
Or where the angel's hearts are beating - ahhh

[Chorus]
    Em     Bm        Em       Bm
Get started, start a fire

Joan of Arc was burning at the stake
Em            Bm            Em         Bm
Somebody had made a big mistake
Em            Bm        Em            Bm
She had lit a cigarette in an airport where you get
D                               C
All your fingers taken off for smoking
D                                  C
Meanwhile up the road a factory's choking
    G                    C                  D
The ones who killed her work there I'm not joking

[Chorus]
    Em     Bm        Em       Bm
Get started, start a fire
