Velvet Goldmine - Babys On Fire

	  		
Verse 1:
N.C.       Bb 
Baby's on fire 
                         Ab 
Better throw her in the water 
              Bb 
Look at her laughing 
                        Ab 
Like a heifer to the slaughter 

Verse 2:
 
           Bb 
Baby's on fire 
                                Ab 
And all the laughing boys are bitching 
             Bb 
Waiting for photos 
                      Ab 
Oh, the plot is so bewitching 

Verse 3:
 
              Bb 
Rescuers row, row 
                             Ab 
Do your best to change the subject 
               Bb 
Blow the wind blow, blow 
                              Ab 
Lend some assistance to the objects 

Verse 4:
                     Bb 
Photographers snip, snap 
                             Ab 
Take your time, she's only burning 
                Bb 
This kind of experience 
                        Ab 
Is necessary for her learning 

Verse 5:
                  Bb 
If you'll be my flotsam 
                          Ab 
I could be half the man I used to 
                   Bb 
They said you were hot stuff 
                              Ab 
And that's what baby's been reduced to

Verse 6:
 
             Bb 
Juanita and Juan 
                   Ab 
Very clever with maracas 
               Bb 
Making their fortunes 
                     Ab 
Selling secondhand tobaccos 

Verse 7:
 
                 Bb 
Juan dances at Chico's 
                           Ab 
And when the clients are evicted 
                 Bb 
He empties the ashtrays 
                             Ab 
And pockets all that he's collected 

Verse 8:
 
               Bb 
But baby's on fire 
                          Ab 
And all the instruments agree that 
                   Bb 
Her temperature's rising 
                     Ab 
But any idiot would know that
