Five Iron Frenzy (also known as Five Iron or FIF) is a Christian ska band formed in Denver, Colorado in 1995 and disbanded in 2003. In 2011, the band reunited and in 2013, they released the album Engine of a Million Plots. Their signature sound is a mix of rock and ska while their lyrics mix socially-conscious satire and their Christian faith.
Five Iron Frenzy started as a local side-project of Reese, Keith, Micah, and Scott's band Exhumator. Although the original intent was for the band to stay local and help support the local music scene
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This song starts with a horn intro, and then goes into a verse thats mostly bass with the guitar playing "ska chords" (I think thats what they're called) in the backround. Dont play power chords till the pre chorus, and chorus.
"Ska chords" used for verse: AED e|--5--| B|--9--| B|--7--| B|--5--| G|--9--| G|--7--| G|--6--| D|--9--| D|--7--|
-Verse 1- AEAD In a field of yellow flowers AEAD Undeneath the sun AEAD Bluest eyes that spark with lightning AEAD Boy with shoes undone
-Pre Chorus 1- BAED He is young so full of hope BAED Reveling in tiny dreams BAED Filling up his arms with flowers BE Right for giving any queen
-Verse 2- Running to her beaming bright While cradeling his prize A flickering of yellow light Within his mothers eyes
-Pre Chorus 2- She holds them to her heart Keeping them where they'll be safe Clasped within her very marrow Dandelions in a vase
-Chorus- AEBD She sees love where ABDE Anyone else would see weeds AEBD All hope is found ABDE Here is everything he needs
-Verse 3- Fathomless your endless mercy Weight I could not lift Where do I fit in this puzzle What good are these gifts
-Pre Chorus 3- Not a martyr or a saint Scarcely can I struggle through All that I have ever wanted Was to give my best to you
-Chorus 2- Lord search my heart Create in me something clean Dandelions You see flowers in these weeds
-Bridge- ADAE Gently lifting hands to heaven ADAE Softened by the sweetest hush ADBE A father sings over his children C#DE Loving them so very much
-Pre Chorus 4- More than words could warrant Deeper than the darkest blue More than sacrifice could merit Lord I give my heart to you
-Chorus 2- x2
I know that the end of the bridge doesn't totally sound right, but if you figure something better out email me. Also if anybody knows what the real name for "ska chords" are, or a good place to buy FIF merchandise email me.
