Subject: TAB: I'm on Fire (Springsteen)



Here's a neat way to play this song:

Bruce Springsteen

I'm on Fire (from the album "Born in the USA")
-----------

CAPO on the 2nd FRET!

INTRO: (repeat once)    E  E  E  E  C#m7  C#m7  C#m7

Hey little girl is your daddy home
E

Did he go away and leave you all alone
                                       A

I got a bad desire      Ohhhhhhhhh, I'm on fire
              C#m7      A        B         E
               

Tell me now baby is he good to you
E

Can he do to you the things that I do
                                      A

I can take you higher   Ohhhhhhhhhh, I'm on fire
                C#m7    A         B         E (Repeat intro)


Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby edgy and dull and cut a
                    A

six-inch valley through the middle of my soul
E                           C#m7


At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet and a
E                              

Freight train running through the middle of my head
                                              
Only you     can cool my desire      Ohhhhhhhhh, I'm on fire (Repeat twice)
        A                  C#m7      A        B         E
