Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Somewhere  high in the  desert near a curtain of blue
St.  Anne's skirts are billowing
 But down  here in the city of the lime  lights
 The fans  of Santa Ana are withering
 And you can't deny  that living is easy
 If you never  look behind the scenery
 It's showtime  for dry climes
   ( )
 And bedlam is dreaming of rain
 ( )
 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
 ( )
 And Los Angeles is burning
This  is not  a test
 Of the emergency  broadcast system
 Where Malibu  fires and radio  towers
Conspire  to dance  again
 And I cannot  believe the  media Mecca
 They're only trying to  peddle reality
 Catch it on prime  time, story  at nine
   ( )
 The whole world is going insane
 ( )
 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
 ( )
 And Los Angeles is burning
 A placard reads
 "The End of Days"
 Jacaranda  boughs are bending in the  haze
 More a question  than a curse
 How could Hell be any  worse?
 The flames are stunning
 The camera's running
 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
 ( )
 And Los Angeles is burning
