Chords with lyrics
The Fire Down Below
Words and Music by Bob Seger
Key of C majorC
===================
Here's a great, easy tune that's fun to mess with and perform. I hadn't seen this one up here yet, so
I thought I'd stick it up here. Great beginner song for those just learning the blues shuffle formation and
the notes / keys that associate with it.

INTRO: Fake a solo in C majorC
C majorC
Here comes old Rosie, she's looking mighty fine
Here comes hot Nancy, she's steppin' right on time
There go the street lights bringin on the night
Here come the men, faces hidden from the light
FF
All through the shadows
D#D# C majorC
Ah, they come and they go
G+G
With only one thing in common
FF C majorC
They got the fire down below
C majorC
Here come the rich man in his big long limousine
Here come the poor man all you got to have is green
Here come the banker and the lawyer and the cop
One thing for certain it ain't never gonna stop
FF
When it all gets too heavy
D#D# C majorC
That's when they come and they go, they go
G+G
With only one thing in common
FF C majorC
They got the fire down below
CHORUS:
FF C majorC
It happens out in Vegas, it happens in Moline
FF
On the blue blood streets of Boston
C majorC
Up in Berkeley and out in Queens
FF C majorC
And it went on yesterday and it's going on tonight
D MajorD G+G
Somewhere there's somebody ain't treatin' somebody right
C majorC
And he's looking out for Rosie, she's looking mighty fine
And he's walking the streets for Nancy
And he'll find her everytime
And when the street lights flicker bringing on the night
Well they'll be slipping into darkness, slipping out of sight
FF
All through the midnight
D#D# C majorC
Watch 'em come and watch 'em go, ahh go
G+G
With only one thing in common
FF C majorC
They got the fire down below
Ahh, burning down below
[SOLO in C majorC]
[CHORUS]
C majorC
And he's looking out for Rosie, she's looking mighty fine
And he's walking the streets for Nancy
And he'll find her everytime
And when the street lights flicker bringing on the night
Well they'll be slipping into darkness, slipping out of sight
FF
All through the midnight
D#D# C majorC
Watch 'em come and watch 'em go, ahh go
G+G
With only one thing in common
FF C majorC
They got the fire down below
G+G
Ohh, they got one thing in common
FF C majorC
They got the fire down below
G+G FF (STOP)
Only got one thing in common
C majorC
They got the fire down below
[SOLO in C majorC OUT]
