Born On Fire Acoustic chords by Ike Reilly

Hey all, this is my first tab. Taken from a live performance of Ike Reilly. Just doing it to help myself learn
it and because there are no other tabs for it. This is a fantastic and underrated song used in the feature film
'I am Chris Farley' about the 🏷Legendary actor and comedian Chris Farley, this song is (I think) dedicated to him
as Reilly and Farley played college rugby together, enjoy!

Standard tuning

~Intro~ - G Am C G

~Verse~

G
You came into the world
                     Am
The day that all the Kings died
                        C
I felt the heat in your heart
                         G
I saw the flames in your eyes
G

For three days and three nights
                         Am
You didn't sleep or even tire
                        C
Yeah, you're gonna burn bright
D                      G
Cause you were born on fire

G

~Chorus~

G                                   Am
Don't let nobody try to dampen your flame
                C
Try to cool you down
                G
Try to make you change
                  G
Try to steal your heat
             Am
Or mock your desire
                        C
Take your flames to the street
D                       G
Cause you were born on fire

~Bridge~

Am                     G
Saw you playing in the ozone
Am                G
Juggling all your time bombs
Am                    C
Skipping through the land mines
        G   D   C
Made to cut you down
G   D   C
Cut you down
        G   D   C      C (hold. Pause).
Made to cut you down

~Verse~
(Repeat as above, but quietly and build up)


G
Well I've seen you bleed
                  Am
And I've seen you bruise
                  C
And I've seen you rage
                  G
And I've seen you blue
                        G
But that don't break my heart
                             Am
Like when you look me in the eye
               C
And you ask me questions
                            G
Like where we going when we die
                     G
And who you're gonna love
                     Am
And how you're gonna live
                  C
And will you be a poor one
                     G
Or could I leave you rich
                     G
I can't leave you no money
                     Am
I can't leave you no land
                     C
I can't leave you no faith
                    G
I lost the little I had (<--- Get louder)


                         G
But I can leave you this truth
                   Am
Hold onto hope and desire
                        C
Take your flames to the streets
                       G
Cause you were born on fire (<--- Loudest, Then Stop)


G         Am
Bap badda bap
          C
Bap badda bap
          G
Bap badda bap (repeat a couple of times)

Hold C into
~Chorus~

          G
Don't let nobody
                   Am
try to dampen your flame
                C
Try to cool you down
                G
Try to make you change
                  G
Try to steal your heat
             Am
Or mock your desire
                        C
Take your flames to the street
                       G
Cause you were born on fire
                        C
Take your flames to the street
                       G
Cause you were born on fire
                        C
Take your flames to the street
                       G
Cause you were born on fire.
