[Verse]
 
G         C       G
Love is a burnin' thing
        G      C      G
And it makes a firery ring
G        C    G
Bound by wild desire
G             C       G
I fell into a ring of fire
 
 
[Chorus]
 
D             C               G
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
       D                       C           G
I went down down down, and the flames went higher
       G
And it burns burns burns
    C       G         D       G
The ring of fire, the ring of fire
 
The song repeats the above throughout the whole thing,
just different lyrics
