House Burning Down - Jimi Hendrix

[00:33.94]Hey
[00:35.61]Hey, hey
[00:38.18]Look at the sky turn a hellfire red
[00:41.95]Somebody's house is burnin'
[00:43.90]Down, down, down, down
[00:46.13]Down, down, yeah
[00:59.66]Well I asked my friend,
[01:01.40]"Where is that black smoke comin' from?"
[01:03.93]He just coughed and changed the subject and said,
[01:05.87]"Uh, well I think it might snow some"
[01:08.06]So I left him sippin' his tea
[01:10.31]And I jumped in my chariot and rode off to see
[01:12.44]Just why and who could it be this time
[01:16.68]Sisters and brothers daddies mothers standin' around cryin'
[01:21.10]When I reached the scene the flames were making a ghostly whine
[01:24.79]So I stood on my horse's back
[01:26.83]And I screamed without a whack
[01:28.50]I say, "Oh baby why did you burn your brother's house down?"
[01:33.37]Hey, hey
[01:37.16]Hey, go get me something, hey
[01:41.49]Look at the sky turn a hellfire red, Lord
[01:45.24]Somebody's house is burning
[01:47.16]Down, down, down, down
[01:49.31]Look at the sky turn a hellfire red, Lord
[01:53.24]Somebody's house is burning
[01:55.12]Down, down, down, down
[02:19.00]Well someone stepped from the crowd,
[02:21.09]he was nineteen miles high
[02:23.10]He shouts we're tired and disgusted
[02:24.80]So we paint red through the sky
[02:27.27]I say the truth is straight ahead
[02:29.29]So don't burn you self instead
[02:31.59]Try to learn instead of burn,
[02:33.55] hear what I say, yeah yeah
[02:35.76]So I finally rode away
[02:37.74]But I'll never forget that day
[02:40.04]'Cause when I reached the valley,
[02:41.92]I looked way down 'cross the way
[02:44.41]A giant boat from space landed with eerie grace
[02:48.11]And came and take all the dead away
[02:52.88]Hey, hey
[02:56.71]Hey, hey what'd I say?
[03:00.97]Look at the sky turn a hellfire red, Lord
[03:04.90]Somebody's house is burning
[03:06.75]Down, down, down, down
[03:08.93]Look at the sky turn a hellfire red, Lord
[03:12.79]Somebody's house is burning
[03:14.81]down, down, down, down
[03:17.01]Look at the sky turn,
[03:18.85]look at the sky turn a hellfire red
