"SPIT INTO THE FIRE" - FURY IN THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE ------------------------------------------------- OK, here is another FTSH tune, a song which features very mellow verses and powerful choruses. It is easiest played with a capo at the 2nd fret position. The lyrics are shown first, together with the main chords of the song. Then I tab out the melodies, which the rhythm guitar uses to intonate the verses. "Spit into the fire" -------------------- VERSE 1: F# Burn a candle ... F# keep on going ...

I didn't bother writing it all out, it is a lot easier just to try it out. It kind of falls into place after a few tries. OK, enjoy this great tune from the best rockband in Germany, any comments and criticisms are extremely welcome.
