Heavens On Fire by The Radio Dept
Heavens On Fire
Capo 6.
The intro riff thing:
e|-----------------|
B|----2------------|
G|--2---4--2-1-4---|
D|-----------------|
A|-----------------|
E|-----------------|
Now, there are 2 ways to play these chord progression, which is Bm, A, D, Am7.
One is the way the actual band plays it, which is like this:
Bm A D Am7
e|--2------0------2------0-|
B|--3------2------3------2-|
G|--4------2------2------1-|
D|--4------2------0------2-|
A|--2------0------x------0-|
E|--x------x------x------x-|
It sounds ok, but somehow in the recorded version you hear a rise from the A to D,
so I just switch them the A and D to barre chords.
Bm A D Am7 Am7
e|--2------x------x------0 --x--|
B|--3------x------7------2 --x--|
G|--4------6------7------1 OR --6--|
D|--4------7------7------2 --6--|
A|--2------7------5------0 --7--|
E|--x------5------x------x --5--|
(The barred version of Am7 is just to the right of it)
The barred versions of the chords all still sound good if you dont mute the B and high e string.

Intro(after the talking): Play *Riff 1* x2
Verse/Chorus: Play *Riff 1* x5
"When I look at you, heaven's on fire
I wish I didn't know you better, but it's pointless
One look at you, and heaven's on fire
Verse/Chorus: Play *Riff 1* x4
When I look at you, I reach for a piano wire
Fighting to keep it together, but it's pointless
One look at you and heaven's on fire,
Heaven's on fire
Bridge
G A
It seems like everyone is on your side
A G
We're outnumbered by those who take no pride
G A
In constantly moving against the tide
A G
Charlatans just out of reach and out of time
*Riff 1* x2
Verse/Chorus: Play *Riff 1* x4
I'm a little like you, ugly on the inside
But while I dive into the gritty, you just stand by
When I look at you Heaven's on fire
Heaven's on fire
G A
It seems like everyone is on your side
A G
We're outnumbered by those who take no pride
G A
In constantly moving against the tide
A G
Charlatans just out of reach and out of time
G A
A G G
Charlatans just out of reach and out of time
*Riff 1* x6
