Fire chords by The Pointer Sisters

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

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

E

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

(where it sits when playing a D)

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

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

When playing the Bm (BEST PLAYED AS A BARR CHORD) remove your pointer finger again and
the open notes on the E A and D 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 tuning
D
I'm ridin' in your car

You turn on the radio
                    Em
You're pullin' me close
           D
I just say no
               Em
I say I don't like it
                    Bm
But you know I'm a liar
                G
'Cause when we kiss
D
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
You had a hold on me
           D
Right from the start
A
A grip so tight
              D
I couldn't tear it apart
G
My nerves all jumpin'
         D
Actin' like a fool
            E
Well, your kisses they burn
A
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 love they couldn't deny
My words say split
But my words they lie
'Cause when we kiss
Ooooh, fire

(IT GOES INTO A BREAK HERE WHICH IS JUST A FULL VERSE PLAYED AND ENDS
IN THE FOLLOWING WHICH IS JUST PLAYED IN D WITH THE FINGER MOVING TO
THE SECOND FRET ON THE A 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 BASIC EXAMPLE OF WHAT A
WILL LOOK LIKE)

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

Em X 2
OPEN D STRINGS X2
Em
STOP
(DO THIS TWICE)

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

Em X 2
OPEN D STRINGS X2
Em
STOP
(DO THIS TWICE)

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

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

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

Then go back to the D 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
