Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
The  hills are burning, fields turn to steel
 the big house is haunted with what we don't feel
 the streets  are empty, no one ever comes around
 so you know  they won't make a sound  burn down this town
My  lungs are blackened with the smoke and sobs
 so just be a man and finish the job
 and i'll watch  you from this distant place i've found
 oh you know  I won't make a sound  burn down this town
The  clapboard jail and the co-op board
the  garden club and the bedroom door
the  sprinkled lawn and the mirrored hall
the  Christmas tree
 just burn  it all
 (  over Instrumental)
 The sky is falling with ash and mud
 we gotta make the promise, yeah blood to blood
 so shut the door then slowly turn around
 now you know you can't make a sound burn down this town
 The clapboard jail and the co-op board
 the garden club and the bedroom door
 the sprinkled lawn and the mirrored hall
 the Christmas tree
 just burn it all
 burn down this town
