Song: Fire
Album: Familty
I was supremely disappointed to see that this song was not on here.
Tuning: DADGBD
Capo: 1st Fret
Listen for rhythm. Also, listen for the 3p0 at the end of the measures (On the low
D-string, pull-off the F to the D as you strum the D chord below). The song gets its feeling
mostly from rhythm, so listen for the subtle nuances and build ups in the strumming.
I'm unsure of exactly what these chords are because the high e is dropped to d. I will
refer them just as their roots: D, C1, C2, and B.

VERSE
i was bo[D]rn in a lighthouse
where my mother lay[C1]
and she wont wa[B]ke for no shouting[D]
i was ra[D]ised by the water
by the crippling waves[C1]
and the gu[B]lls gave me my singing voi[D]ce
PRECHORUS
when the de[C1]vil came to visit me
he said so[B]n i am your enemy
fear me[D]
but it ca[C1]me to my surprise
i was dr[B]awn by the fire[D]
VERSE
i set off we[D]st in the springtime
before the flowers had[C1] bloomed
and the fro[B]st and ice followed me[D]
i met a l[D]ot of fine women
with the small of their backs[C1]
sh[B]ining like the crescent moon[D]
PRECHORUS
when the fi[C1]nest came to visit me
she said s[B]on i am your enemy
fear[D] me
but it c[C1]ame as no surprise
i was dr[B]awn by the fire[D]
CHORUS
h[D]ey
i am looking for freedom[C2]
in the wi[B]ld eyes of the dancing girl[D]s
h[D]ey
i am looking for freedom[C2]
in the o[B]pen arms of america[D]
VERSE
i was told to find jesus
in a stained glass church
where the light shines red like blood
but the eyes of his children
were so bitterly burned
that i could not stand to look at them
PRECHORUS
when he finally came to visit me
he was dressed in the rags of poverty
and it came as no surpass
it came as no surprise
CHORUS
hey
i am looking for freedom
in the wild eyes of the dancing girls
hey
i am looking for freedom
in the open arms of america
