I'll Name You The Flame That Cries

Special thanks to Bill Chartier

The Flame That Cries

I have no idea what to call the beginning fingerpicked chords, so I’ll just call them #1—#9.
Quickly pick the lowest string of the chord to the highest string, whatever that string may be.  
here’s what the chords look like.

#1—x-x-x-7-6-5	#3—x-x-0-7-5-x	#5—x-x-0-3-3-x	#7—x-x-2-2-0-0
#2—x-x-x-7-6-6	#4—x-x-0-7-6-x	#6—x-x-0-3-4-x	#8—x-x-5-5-0-x
									#9—x-x-4-4-0-x
#1         #2						
cherub blown apart 
#1         #2						
baby's in the bed 
#1         #2						
sit around and mope
#1         #2						
better not 
#1         #2						
can't be long from me
#1         #2						
here they linger 
#1         #2						
probably in danger 
r#1         #2						
read it on a flyer 
#1         #2		#3 — #4				
glisten on the burner
#1         #2			#5 — #6			
king shows anger, "reign, man!"
#1         #2		      #5 — #6		#7 — #8 — #9
he will deal with it later, send them away
#7
send them away then
	    #8
not gonna spank you 
           #9			        #7
and we thank you from all of our hearts
#7
send them away then
		       #8
they're developing rashes
		#9
down on the ashes
	       #7
and after the body-parts
visiting down there 
	  #8
trying to cling there
		#9
it don't mean a thing there

here come the power chords!
