For Guitarists

Still On Fire

Tabs by Rick Strang

This is fun but tricky. There's a fair bit of right hand damping going on to maintain
the "chinka-chunk" rhythm without neccessarily letting the chord ring through as well
as there being a definite "slide" feel created by keeping the barre finger hard on the
fret board and literally sliding your hand between the chords. It hurts! You need to
listen to the album version a few times and pick it out. Good luck!

Guitar Intro:

F --- Bb --- Dm7 --- G ----



Verse:

C(open) ---------------------------------------------------
I'm in love with everything that breaks the grip of caution

---------------------------------- Bbmaj7 - Bb6 
On us getting up and leaving for a bigger   day.

A7--------- D -
Still, some say

---- Dm------------------------- Bb --------------------
That all you need is money to be free from what is poor.

--------------- G ------------------------------ C(III)
Well that's the lie of looking up from somewhere down.



Chorus:

----------- F ----------------------
Because the sun will show to testify

------------ Bb ------------------------------
that all the time between belongs to you and I
 
----- Dm7 ---- G ---
To be still on fire.

------------ F --------------------------------
And when the strongest words have all been used 

----------- Bb ---------------------
And all the new ones sound confused.

----- Dm7 ---- G ---
To be still on fire.


(as before)
Somewhere in the middle we can see through all the people
And be playing second fiddle and we feel it sore.
Shown the door.
To chase out all the child in you is throwing out the baby
For the chance to make it easy to be more.



Instrumental/Solo:

C --- Bb --- Bbm --- C ---- (x4)
