Solo 1:
The chords here are unusual because it's melodic guitar and drums only. The solo is essentially chromatically
descending arpeggios of tritones, starting from Gdim.

Rap:
The first half of the rap has no chords.
Hotter than the sun, feel my fire, pyromaniac my desire.
Thought that you could see the truth, til I just burned down the booth.
Human torch can't fuck with me, Johnny Blaze? Suspect B.
Strike them quick, lightning fast, melt them b****es down to ash.
The second half has the Verse chords in it
EmC
Gasoline, Kerosine, strike the match ignite the scene
F#dimB
Shit will never be the same, feel the fury of my flame
EmC
Beg for mercy it won't help, embrace the ending you were dealt.
F#dimB
Seems you fucks will never learn, now sit back and watch me burn.
Solo: (Sorry, my ears aren't that good. If someone can tab the solo that would be fantastic)
