  "Effigy" by Creedence Clearwater Revival
  from the album Willy and the Poorboys--1969
  transribed hastily (too hastily, since I got it wrong and had to fix it) 
  by Patrick Glass (patrick@spy.net)
  
  Just the chords, because I can't quite make out all of the solo, but once 
  you know what the chords are, it's not too hard.
  
  This is the whole chord progression:
  
  C 	D   Dsus4 D	G 	C	G	E	E7	E	E7
  
  
  Put it with the words and it sounds like this
  
  C        D   Dsus4 D
  Last night, 	
  G              C       G    E          E7 E    E7
  I saw the fire burning on the palace door
  C        D   Dsus4 D
  O'er the land,
  G               C            G   E       E7 E   E7
  Humble subjects watched with mixed  emotion
  C              D Dsus4 D
  Who is burning
  G      C   Am7 E        E7 E  E7
  Who is burning the effigy
  (repeat that line again)
  
  And here are all the words for the song:
  
  Last night, I saw the fire burning on the palace lawn
  O'er the land, humble subjects watched with mixed emotion
  Who is burning, who is burning, the effigy??
  Who is burning, who is burning, effigy??
  
  Last night, I saw the fire spreading to the palace door
  Silent majority wasn't keeping quiet anymore
  Who is burning, who is burning, the effigy??
  Who is burning, who is burning, effigy??
  
  Last night, I saw the fire spreading to the countryside
  In the morning, few were left to watch the ashes die
  Who is burning, who is burning, the effigy??
  Who is burning, who is burning, effigy??
  Why? Why? Why? Effigy!
  
  By far, my favorite CCR song. It just kicks.
  
  NOTE:You could play the second G as a G/B (x20003). It sounds pretty good
  that way, and might actually be the way it goes. But I wouldn't know :)
