Fire Lyrics

Music by U2
Lyrics by Bono
Copyright 1981
Tune down 1/2 step, use the bridge pickup, and it helps if
you have a little delay.
Intro and verse:
Here are a few of the many fills in the verse part:
Falling, falling
The sun is burning black
Falling, falling
It's beating on my back
Chorus:
1-----------------------------------------------17-----17\--- (1st time
2------------------------------------------------------------ hit 2 17th
3------------------------------------------------------------ frets, 2nd
4------------------------------------------------------------ time hit 1
5---2/------------------------------------------------------- 17th then 1
6------------------------------------------------------------ 15th instead)
With a fire
Oh oh oh oh
With a fire
Oh oh oh oh
Falling, falling
The moon is running red
Falling, falling
It's pulling me instead
With a fire
Oh oh oh oh
Fire
Oh oh oh oh
But there's a fire inside
When I'm falling over
There's a fire in me
(natural harmonics)
When I call out
I feel some fire
I'm going home
(slightly audible fills used throughout song)
Falling, falling
The stars are falling down
Falling, falling
They knock me to the ground
With a fire
Oh oh oh oh
Fire
Oh oh oh oh
Solo:
But there's a fire inside
When I'm falling over
There's a fire in me
When I call out
There's a fire inside
When I'm falling over
I feel the fire
I'm going home
Outro:
1--------14---12--------------------12----------------(twice)
Falling, falling...
