Subject: TAB: Fire (Bruce Springsteen) 

I don't have this song in recorded form, I have only seen it performed  
on MTV.  Unfortunately, I am probably more familiar with the Pointer  
Sisters' version from the radio than the Springsteen version, but I  
believe that the two are similar.  By the way, if you haven't heard  
Robin Williams sing this as Elmer Fudd, you've missed a real treat.

FIRE - Bruce Springsteen


                  G riff
I'm driving in my car I turn on the radio

                  A riff             G riff
I'm pulling you close you just say no

                  A riff                            G riff
You say you don't like it but girl I know you're a liar

                C    D   G riff  
'Cause when we kiss...  Fire


         G riff
Late at night I'm takin' you home

              A riff                    G riff
I say I wanna stay you say you wanna be alone

                  A riff                           G riff 
You say you don't love me girl you can't hide your desire

                C   D    G riff
'Cause when we kiss...  Fire


            G                         C
You had a hold on me right from the start

    D                       G
A grip so tight I couldn't tear it apart

     C                       G
My nerves all jumpin' actin' like a fool

            A7                      D
Well your kisses they burn but your heart stays cool


            G riff
Romeo and Juliet, Samson and Delilah

             A riff                 G riff
Baby, you can bet their love didn't deny

               A riff                   G riff
Your words say split but your words they lie

                C   D   G riff
'Cause when we kiss... Fire



It is easier to me to play barre chords for all chords other than the  
riffs.
