Fire chords by The Pointer Sisters

Chords with lyrics

Hey there,

Here is the easiest possible way to play this song for those of us out there that are
tab savvy...

Basically to play this song almost identical to the original you need to tune the guitar
a half step... so the tuning will be as follows

Eb MajorEb

The chords you will need once the guitar has been tuned down are

E MajorE

When playing the verses you play the D MajorD chord then take your pointer finger off of the G+G
second fret...

(where it sits when playing a D MajorD)

... and move it to the Second fret on the A augmentedA string for two counts then back again... if
listen to the song you will see exactly what i mean.

When playing the E minorEm same thing only you will remove all of your fingers and play the
strings for two counts.

When playing the B minorBm (BEST PLAYED AS A augmentedA BARR CHORD) remove your pointer finger again and
the open notes on the E MajorE A augmentedA and D MajorD strings for two counts...

(this will all make sense when you play it to the original recording which you can find
youtube)

So here goes ......

FIRE (POINTER SISTERS VERSION) Eb MajorEb tuning
D MajorD
I'm ridin' in your car

You turn on the radio
          E minorEm
You're pullin' me close
      D MajorD
I just say no
        E minorEm
I say I don't like it
          B minorBm
But you know I'm a liar
        G+G
'Cause when we kiss
D MajorD
Ooooh, fire

(REPEAT THE SAME FOR THIS VERSE)
Late at night
You're takin' me home
You say you wanna stay
I say I wanna be alone
I say I don't love you
But you know I'm a liar
'Cause when we kiss
Ooooh, fire

G+G
You had a hold on me
      D MajorD
Right from the start
A augmentedA
A majorA grip so tight
       D MajorD
I couldn't tear it apart
G+G
My nerves all jumpin'
     D MajorD
Actin' like a fool
      E MajorE
Well, your kisses they burn
A augmentedA
But my heart stays cool

(THIS IS PLAYED THE SAME AS THE FIRST AND SECOND VERSES)
Well, Romeo and Juliet
Samson and Delilah
Baby you can bet
A augmentedA love they couldn't deny
My words say split
But my words they lie
'Cause when we kiss
Ooooh, fire

(IT GOES INTO A augmentedA BREAK HERE WHICH IS JUST A augmentedA FULL VERSE PLAYED AND ENDS
IN THE FOLLOWING WHICH IS JUST PLAYED IN D MajorD WITH THE FINGER MOVING TO
THE SECOND FRET ON THE A augmentedA STRING AND BACK AGAIN)

Ooooh, fire
Kisses like fire
Burn me up with fire
I like what you're doin' now
Fire
Touchin' me
Fire
Touchin' me
Burnin' me
Fire
Take me home


(SO AGAIN TO EXPLAIN THE PATTERN THE SONG FOLLOWS HERE IS A augmentedA BASIC EXAMPLE OF WHAT A augmentedA
WILL LOOK LIKE)

D MajorD X 2
A augmentedA STRING)X2
D MajorD X 1
STOP
(DO THIS FOUR TIMES)

E minorEm X 2
OPEN D MajorD STRINGS X2
E minorEm
STOP
(DO THIS TWICE)

D MajorD X 2
A augmentedA STRING)X2
D MajorD X 1
STOP
(DO THIS TWICE)

E minorEm X 2
OPEN D MajorD STRINGS X2
E minorEm
STOP
(DO THIS TWICE)

B minorBm (barred) X 2
B minorBm (barred minus the first finger playing the E MajorE and A augmentedA strings as open) X 2
B minorBm (barred) x 1
STOP
(DO THIS TWICE)

FAST STRUM THE TOP 3 STRINGS WHILE HOLDING THE G+G CHORD 8 TIMES

FAST STRUM THE TOP 3 STRINGS WHILE HOLDING THE A augmentedA CHORD 8 TIMES

Then go back to the D MajorD pattern


So if anyone wants to tab this version feel free...
but i thought it might be nice to give the beginner something to learn
that is relatively easy when you know the song lol
