D# D#
In the dawn of desperation
D# D#
When the peasants are beheading
G# G# A# A# D# D#
Every emperor with a golden crown
D# D#
First they'll stand with one another
D# D#
Then they'll turn against each other
G# G# A# A# D# D#
Under thunder on a battleground


Cm Cm
With their torches, tar and feathers
A# A#
Off to round up all the witches
D# D# G# G#
On a rail to run 'em out of town


D# D#
In a kingdom that's collapsing
A# A#
I'm relaxing on the ashes
G# G# A# A# D# D#
Playing fiddle watching Rome burn down


G# G# A# A# D# D#


D# D#
You can dance around the fire
D# D#
With the hand that holds the power
G# G# A# A# D# D#
Or go cower with the gagged and bound
D# D#
While the vultures count the profits
D# D#
And the hawks are launching rockets
G# G# A# A# D# D#
In a garden growing mushroom clouds


Cm Cm
You can storm the ivory towers
A# A#
But the knight in shining armor's days
D# D# G# G#
Are numbered on the body count


D# D#
So I'm laughing up to heaven
A# A#
In the arms of Armageddon
G# G# A# A# D# D#
Playing fiddle watching Rome burn down


Cm Cm
You can find me playing fiddle
G# G# D# D#
Watching Rome burn down
G# G# A# A# D# D#
Playing fiddle watching Rome burn down

Fm Fm A# A# D# D#
Playing fiddle watching Rome burn down


G# G# A# A# D# D#


D# D#
Where the tricksters and the grifters
D# D#
And the rich carnival barkers
G# G# A# A# D# D#
Sell their psalters to a spellbound crowd
D# D#
Buying tickets to the promise
D# D#
Of a better world a-coming
G# G# A# A# D# D#
Left with nothing when their hope runs out


Cm Cm
There's a lifeboat overflowing
A# A#
On a rising violent ocean
D# D# G# G#
In the darkness where the sailors drown


D# D#
But I'm smiling on an island
A# A#
By the tidal wave horizon
G# G# A# A# D# D#
Playing fiddle watching Rome burn down


G# G# A# A# D# D#


D# D#
If you're screaming in defiance
D# D#
Are you David or Goliath
G# G# A# A# D# D#
When the riot rages all around
D# D#
Call it vengeance, call it justice
D# D#
Call it progress, call it selfish
G# G# A# A# D# D#
Either way I'm gonna have my doubts


Cm Cm
Maybe I'm just causing problems
A# A#
Thinking I know how to solve 'em
D# D# G# G#
So for once I'm gonna shut my mouth


D# D#
Waiting silent in the shadows
A# A#
Like a devil at the crossroads
G# G# A# A# D# D#
Playing fiddle watching Rome burn down


Cm Cm
You can find me playing fiddle
G# G# D# D#

D# D#
While the charlatans are shouting
D# D#
Propaganda on the mountain
G# G# A# A# D# D#
Truth is spoken to an empty house
D# D#
If you ask for my opinion
D# D#
Are you tryin' to make a difference
G# G# A# A# D# D#
Or find something to complain about


Cm Cm
When indulgence and consumption
A# A#
Leave a landscape of destruction
D# D# G# G#
Where it's far too late to turn back now


D# D#
I'll be moving on my own way
A# A#
Down the existential highway
G# G# A# A# D# D#
Playing fiddle watching Rome burn down
