[Verse 1]
C                                    F            C
Somewhere high in the desert near a curtain of blue
Am           C              G
St. Anne's skirts are billowing
     C                        F    C
But down here in the city of lime lights
     Am                    G
The fans of Santa Ana are withering
         C                        F  C
And you can't deny that living is easy
        Am           C         G
If you never look behind the scenery
    C               F   C
It's showtime for dry climes
     Am         G          C     F C
And bedlam is dreaming of rain
 
[Chorus]
          Am          G            F  C    G/B Am
When the hills of Los Angeles are burning
                G              F      C
Palm trees are candles in the murder wind
    G/B  Am                E
So many lives are on the breeze
               Am         F
Even the stars are ill at ease
        Am          G  C
And Los Angeles is burning
 
[Interlude]
C C C F  C C C F  C C C F  C C C C
 
[Verse 2]
  C            F  C
This is not a test
          Am       C        G
Of the emergency broadcast system
       C                F     C
Where Malibu fires and radio towers
Am              G
   Conspire to dance again
          C                        F    C
And I cannot believe the media Mecca
               Am       C       G
They're only trying to peddle reality
           C              F       C
Catch it on prime time, story at nine
      Am            G       C     F C
The whole world is going insane
 
[Chorus]
          Am          G            F  C    G/B Am
When the hills of Los Angeles are burning
                G              F      C
Palm trees are candles in the murder wind
    G/B  Am                E
So many lives are on the breeze
               Am         F
Even the stars are ill at ease
        Am          G  C
And Los Angeles is burning

[Bridge]
             F  Ab              C
A placard reads    "The End of Days"
        F             G              Am
Jacaranda boughs are bending in the haze
         F              G
More a question than a curse
           C      G/B  Am
How Could Hell Be Any Worse?
                 F
The flames are stunning
              G
The camera's running
         C
So take warning

When the hills of Los Angeles are burning

Palm trees are candles in the murder wind

So many lives are on the breeze

Even the stars are ill at ease

Very nice, but I find it works better if you make a slight change to the chorus: on "So many lives are on the breeze," I think you should go from Am to E rather than to B. Then you go back to Am on the word "stars" instead of playing E, and then play an F instead of Am on the word ease. I dunno, sounds a lot better to me. Great tab!

This song feels of the moment.

Great Band. Great Album. Great Song. Great Tab. Great!
