The Pointer Sisters - Fire

      
 
 Hey there,
 
 Here is the easiest possible way to play this song for those of us out there that are
 tab savvy...
 
 Basically to play this song almost identical to the original you need to tune the guitar
 a half step... so the tuning will be as follows
 
 Eb Ab C# F# 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
 
 So here goes ......
 
 FIRE (POINTER SISTERS VERSION) Eb tuning
 D                     
 I'm ridin' in your car
 
 You turn on the radio
                     Em 
 You're pullin' me close
            D 
 I just say no
                Em    
 I say I don't like it
                     Bm 
 But you know I'm a liar
                 G  
 'Cause when we kiss
 A         D 
 Ooooh, fire
 
 (REPEAT THE SAME FOR THIS VERSE)
 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
 'Cause when we kiss
 Ooooh, fire
 
 G                   
 You had a hold on me
            D        
 Right from the start
 A              
 A grip so tight
               D         
 I couldn't tear it apart
 G                    
 My nerves all jumpin'
          D        
 Actin' like a fool
             E              
 Well, your kisses they burn
 A                      
 But my heart stays cool
 
 (THIS IS PLAYED THE SAME AS THE FIRST AND SECOND VERSES)
 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
 'Cause when we kiss
 Ooooh, fire
 
 (IT GOES INTO A BREAK HERE WHICH IS JUST A FULL VERSE PLAYED AND ENDS
 IN THE FOLLOWING WHICH IS JUST PLAYED IN D WITH THE FINGER MOVING TO
 THE SECOND FRET ON THE A STRING AND BACK AGAIN)
 
 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
 
 (SO AGAIN TO EXPLAIN THE PATTERN THE SONG FOLLOWS HERE IS A BASIC EXAMPLE OF WHAT A
 WILL LOOK LIKE)
 
 D X 2
 D(1ST FINGER 2ND FRET OF A STRING)X2
 D X 1
 STOP
 ( DO THIS FOUR TIMES)
 
 Em X 2
 OPEN E A & D STRINGS X2
 Em  
 STOP
 (DO THIS TWICE)
 
 D X 2
 D(1ST FINGER 2ND FRET OF A STRING)X2
 D X 1
 STOP
 (DO THIS TWICE)
 
 Em X 2
 OPEN E A & D STRINGS X2
 Em  
 STOP
 (DO THIS TWICE)
 
 Bm (barred) X 2
 Bm (barred minus the first finger playing the E and A strings as open) X 2
 Bm (barred) x 1
 STOP
 (DO THIS TWICE)
 
 FAST STRUM THE TOP 3 STRINGS WHILE HOLDING THE G CHORD 8 TIMES
 
 FAST STRUM THE TOP 3 STRINGS WHILE HOLDING THE A CHORD 8 TIMES
 
 Then go back to the D pattern
 
 So if anyone wants to tab this version feel free...
 but i thought it might be nice to give the beginner something to learn
 that is relatively easy when you know the song lol
