Fire chords by Noah Gundersen

Chords with lyrics

Song: Fire
Album: Familty

I was supremely disappointed to see that this song was not on here.

Tuning: DADGBD
Capo: 1st Fret


Listen for rhythm. Also, listen for the 3p0 at the end of the measures (On the low
D-string, pull-off the FF to the D MajorD as you strum the D MajorD chord below). The song gets its feeling
mostly from rhythm, so listen for the subtle nuances and build ups in the strumming.
I'm unsure of exactly what these chords are because the high e is dropped to d. I will
refer them just as their roots: D, C1, C2, and B.

INTRO: D MajorD C1 BB

VERSE
    D MajorD
i was born in a lighthouse
          C1
where my mother lay
        BB           D MajorD
and she wont wake for no shouting


    D MajorD
i was raised by the water
            C1
by the crippling waves
     BB             D MajorD
and the gulls gave me my singing voice


PRECHORUS
      C1
when the devil came to visit me
     BB
he said son i am your enemy
     D MajorD
fear me
     C1
but it came to my surprise
    BB            D MajorD
i was drawn by the fire




VERSE
      D MajorD
i set off west in the springtime
           C1
before the flowers had bloomed
      BB               D MajorD
and the frost and ice followed me

     D MajorD
i met a lot of fine women
               C1
with the small of their backs
 BB               D MajorD
shining like the crescent moon



PRECHORUS
      C1
when the finest came to visit me
     BB
she said son i am your enemy
  D MajorD
fear me
    C1
but it came as no surprise
    BB          D MajorD
i was drawn by the fire


CHORUS


 D MajorD
hey
             C2
i am looking for freedom
     BB             D MajorD
in the wild eyes of the dancing girls
 D MajorD
hey
             C2
i am looking for freedom
    BB          D MajorD
in the open arms of america



VERSE
i was told to find jesus
in a stained glass church
where the light shines red like blood

but the eyes of his children
were so bitterly burned
that i could not stand to look at them


PRECHORUS
when he finally came to visit me
he was dressed in the rags of poverty

and it came as no surpass
it came as no surprise


CHORUS
hey
i am looking for freedom
in the wild eyes of the dancing girls
hey
i am looking for freedom
in the open arms of america
