Capo on 4th
[Verse 1]
G C
Oh, sweet thing, Zion doesn't love you
D G
And Babylon don't love you, but you love everything
C
Oh, you saint, America don't love you
D G
So I could never love you, in spite of everything
[Pre-chorus]
Bm Em
In the dark of this place, there's the glow of your face
Am G D
There's the dust on the screen, of this broken machine
Bm Em Am
And I can't help but feel, that I made some mistake, but I let it go
Ya hey, ya hey, ya hey
[Chorus]
C
Through the fire and through the flames
D G C
(Ya hey Ya hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey )
You won't even say your name
D G C
(Ya hey Ya hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey )
D
Through the fire and through the flames, you won't even say your name
G C
Only I am that I am
But who could ever live that way?
D G C
(Ya hey Ya hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey )
[Verse 1]
G C
Oh,the motherland don't love you
D
The fatherland don't love you
G
So why love anything?
G C
Oh, good God, the faithless, they don't love you
D
The zealous hearts don't love you
G
And that's not gonna change
[Pre-chorus]

Bm Em
All the cameras and files, all the paranoid styles
Am G D
All the tension and fear, of a secret career
Bm Em
And I can't help but feel, that you see the mistakes
Am G D
But you let it go, Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Ya Hey
[Chorus]
C
Through the fire and through the flames

(Ya hey Ya hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey )
You won't even say your name

(Ya hey Ya hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey )

Through the fire and through the flames, you won't even say your name
G C
Say I am that I am
But who could ever live that way?
D G C
(Ya hey Ya hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey )
[Bridge]
G
Outside the tents, on the festival grounds
C
As the air began to cool and the sun went down
D
My soul swooned as I faintly heard the sound
D7
Of you spinning Israelites into 19th Nervous Breakdown
[Chorus]
C
Through the fire and through the flames
D G C
(Ya hey Ya hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey )
You won't even say your name
D G C
(Ya hey Ya hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey )
D
Through the fire and through the flames, you won't even say your name
G C
Say I am that I am
But who could ever live that way?
D G C
(Ya hey Ya hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey )
