Fire by Pointer Sisters
Fire
It's easy...just keep repeating G and Am until you come to the chorus. I like to capo on 4th.
G/Am
I'm ridin' in your car
You turn on the radio
You're pullin' me close
I just say no
I say I don't like it
But you know I'm a liar
C/D/G
'Cause when we kiss
Ooooh, fire
G/Am
Late at night
You're takin' me home
You say you wanna stay
I say I wanna be alone
I say I don't love you
But you know I'm a liar
C/D/G
'Cause when we kiss
Ooooh, fire
[Bridge]
C/G/D/G
you had a hold on me right from the start
A grip so tight I wanna tear it apart
C/G/Am/
My nerves all jumping acting like a fool Well, your kisses they burn but my
D/Am7/D7
heart stays cool
G/Am
Well, Romeo and Juliet
Samson and Delilah
Baby you can bet
A love they couldn't deny
My words say split
But my words they lie
[Outro]
C/D/G
'Cause when we kiss
Ooooh, fire
G (stay on G)
Ooooh, fire
Kisses like fire
Burn me up with fire
I like what you're doin' now
Fire
Touchin' me
Fire
Touchin' me
Burnin' me
Fire
Take me home
------------------
version 2
tuning will be as follows
Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
The chords you will need once the guitar has been tuned down are
D Em G Bm A E
When playing the verses you play the D chord then take your pointer finger off of the G
second fret...
(where it sits when playing a D)
... and move it to the Second fret on the A string for two counts then back again... if
listen to the song you will see exactly what i mean.
When playing the Em same thing only you will remove all of your fingers and play the
strings for two counts.
When playing the Bm (BEST PLAYED AS A BARR CHORD) remove your pointer finger again and
the open notes on the E A and D strings for two counts...
(this will all make sense when you play it to the original recording which you can find
youtube)
So here goes ......

If you don't have someone to play the keys, skip the solo
and repeat the bridge and the last verse. Everybody seems to know
the lyrics of that last verse, so they love it.
