Lyrics

(Bb)Love

is a (Eb)burn ing (Bb)thing,

and it makes

a (F7)fi ery (Bb)ring.

Bound I fell for by (Eb)wild de (Bb)sire,

I fell in to a (F7)ring of (Bb)fire.

(F7)I fell in to a (Eb)burn ing ring of (Bb)fire.

I went (F7)down, down, down and the (Eb)flames went (Bb)high er.

And it burns, burns, burns,

the (F7)ring of (Bb)fire,

the (F7)ring of (Bb)fire.

The (Bb)taste

of a (Eb)love is (Bb)sweet,

when it hearts

like (F7)ours ery (Bb)beat.

Bound I fell for you (Eb)like a (Bb)child.

Oh, fell in but the (F7)fire went (Bb)wild.

(F7)I fell in to a (Eb)burn ing ring of (Bb)fire.

I went (F7)down, down, down and the (Eb)flames went (Bb)high er.

And it burns, burns, burns,

the (F7)ring of (Bb)fire,

the (F7)ring of (Bb)fire.

The (Bb)fire.

(Bb)fire.

And it burns, burns, burns,

the (F7)ring of (Bb)fire,

the (F)ring of (Bb)fire,

the (F)ring of (Bb)fire.
