[Verse]
Am
The lamps now glitter down the street;
Fmaj7
Faintly sound the falling feet;
G
And the blue even slowly falls
Am
About the garden trees and walls.
Am
Now in the falling of the gloom
Fmaj7
The red fire paints the empty room:
G
And warmly on the roof it looks,
Am
And flickers on the backs of books.
[Chorus]
F
And what the burning city is
C
That crumbles in your furnaces!
F
And what the burning city is
C G
That crumbles in your furnaces!

[Verse]
Am
Armies march by tower and spire
Fmaj7
Of cities blazing, in the fire;—
G
Till as I gaze with staring eyes,
Am
The armies fade, the lustre dies.
Am
Then once again the glow returns;
Fmaj7
Again the phantom city burns;
G
And down the red-hot valley, lo!
Am
The phantom armies marching go!
[Chorus]
F
And what the burning city is
C
That crumbles in your furnaces!
F
And what the burning city is
C G
That crumbles in your furnaces!

[Verse 3]
Am
Blinking embers, tell me true
Fmaj7
Where are those armies marching to,
G
And what the burning city is
Am
That crumbles in your furnaces!
[Chorus]

And what the burning city is
C
That crumbles in your furnaces!
F
And what the burning city is
C G
That crumbles in your furnaces!
F F C C
F
And what the burning city is
C
That crumbles in your furnaces!
F
And what the burning city is
C G
That crumbles in your furnaces!
