I'm On Fire by John Mayer
I'm On Fire
Capo:no capo
Tuning: EADGBE
Originally performed by Bruce Springsteen, "I'm On Fire" is reproduced by John Mayer
for his new album. While similar to the original in chord structure, some of the
riffs have changed in Mayer's interpretation. Throughout the song, chords are
arpeggiated, so I'll introduce the arpeggio charts then show chords with lyrics.
