Thanx Kirk Anderson (kanderso@wheatonma.edu) for chords, he writes:

For the basic intro, verse, chorus riff play Em at fret 7

then pull off fingers 2, 3, and 4: voila the other chord: 777777,

though I don't strum the low E. (X77777 = Bm11)

Slide it up from fret 6 when you feel moved to. Rinse. Repeat.

 

Em               Bm11            Em        Bm11

The Mona Lisa's sister doesn't smile

Em                    Bm11        Em          Bm11

She tried to pose but only for a while

Em                 Bm11  Em                   Bm11

Leonardo sent her home   Since then she has lived alone

D                            C         D                        C

With her few belongings and a copy     Of a painting of herself unhappy

G                C                   D

She is going to burn it when she's ready

 

Chorus: 

   Em          Bm11       Em    Bm11

   Get started, start a fire               (4 times)

 

Marilyn was lying all alone With an empty bottle by the phone

Kennedy was not around She was cold when she was found

But she'd gone where goddesses are sleeping

Where the molten tongues of flame are leaping

Or where the angel's hearts are heating (Instrumental VERSE, INTRO RPT)

 

Joan of Arc was burning at the stake  Somebody had made a big mistake

She had lit a cigarette  In an aiport where you get

Your fingers taken off for smoking. 

Meanwhile up the road a factory's choking

The ones who killed her work there I'm not joking
