CITIES ON FLAME
------ -- -----

From Blue Oyster Cult's song of the same name, on their
self titled first album, circa 1970. Another faster
version with a better guitar solo is on their fourth
album and first live album, "On Your Feet, Or On Your Knees"

   F#m
My genes are Yeti, the sky is black.

E
Cities on flame with saucer slack.

F#m
Three billion pink boys, they seem to cry.

E
Their heads will burst before my eyes.

D A
Oh, let them pinks, let them pinks, burn crispy black.

Bm F#m
Cities on flame now, with saucer slack.

Gardens of Tibetian Yeti delights,
Mounds of 'frop, yeah it's alright.
Cities on flame, with saucer slack.
Alien gods come to take me back.

Oh, let them pinks, let them pinks, burn crispy black.
Cities on flame now, with saucer slack.

My genes are Yeti, the sky is black.
Cities on flame with saucer slack.
Three billion pink boys, they seem to cry.
Their heads will burst before my eyes.

Oh, let them pinks, let them pinks, burn crispy black.
Cities on flame now, with saucer slack.
