INTRO: G    C  G    D7  G  [2x]

 

G         C       G  C  G              D7    G  D7  G

Love is a burning thing and it makes a fiery ring.

         C      G  C  G                D7      G

Bound by wild desire---, I fell into a ring of fire.

 

CHORUS:

D7            C               G

I fell into a burning ring of fire

       D7                       C           G

I went down, down, down and the flames went higher.

                                D7      G         D7      G

And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire, the ring of fire.

 

G    C  G    D7  G  [2x]

 

The taste of love is sweetWhen hearts like ours meet

I fell for you like a child

Ohh, but the fire went wild

 

CHORUS:  [2x]

 

D7      G         D7      G

And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire, the ring of fire.

    D7      G

The ring of fire.  [repeat and out]
