The Only Ones - "Flaming Torch"
Album: Even Serpents Shine
It's a tragedy that this band's songs aren't tabbed anywhere. They're
brilliant and really not that difficult to work out or play, even for me, a
total amateur. So I've taken on the task of posting some of their songs'
chords for your rockin' pleasure, and hopefully others will take the cue and
work out some more of their songs and more detailed tabs. Please point out
corrections as needed, since they may not be perfect. Long live The Only Ones!
"Flaming Torch"
(I'm not sure how the band plays it, but I use barre chords or power chords
and it sounds fine along with the recording.)

Now I know what you want
BmG
But I don't know how to give it

I don't know which one of us is worse

Is it the one who lies or the one who hurts

It's a crime, it's a crime

I'm always in the wrong place in the wrong time

You say I should be there

You don't tell me where you're living

It serves as ammunition for my thirst

I practice spiritual research

Among the ancient ruins covered in dirt

It's my work, it's my work

I'm always in the wrong place in the wrong term

True love is your guiding light

It's like a flaming torch

You can see magic in the night

As the flames start to distort

I can hear bells again

I hope they never stop 'em ringing

They remind me of the distant past

Looking through a window, stained-glass

When the pledge was made and the spell was cast
DG
It's a crime, it's a crime
DAD
I'm always in the wrong place at the wrong time
