I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire by The Inkspots
I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire
When playing accent the bass root-note on the down strum and the higher
pitched three strings on the up strum to get the effect you hear on the
record (and so the chords sound proper). Also, don't use a pick, use your
thumb to soften the sound.

v = up strum (ebgdae)
() = optional
