Artist: Noah Gundersen
Song: Fire
Album: Family
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.

[INTRO]
D C1 G/B
[VERSE]
D C1
I was born in a lighthouse where my mother lay
G/B D
And she won't wake for no shouting
D
I was raised by the water by the crippling waves
G/B D
And the gulls gave me my singing voice
C1 G/B D
When the devil came to visit me he said, "Son, I am your enemy. Fear me"
C1 G/B D
But it came to my surprise, I was drawn by the fire
[VERSE]
D C1
I set off west in the springtime before the flowers had bloomed
G/B D
And the frost and ice followed me
D C1
I met a lot of fine women, with the small of their backs
G/B D
Shining like the crescent moon
C1 G/B
When the finest came to visit me she said, "Son, I am your enemy. Fear me"
C1 G/B D
But it came to my surprise, I was drawn by the fire
[CHORUS]
D C2
Hey, I am looking for freedom
G/B D
In the wild eyes of the dancing girls
D C2
Hey, I am looking for freedom
G/B D
In the open arms of America
[VERSE]
D C1
I was told to find Jesus, in a stained glass church
G/B D
Where the light shines red like blood
D C1
An' the eyes of his children, were so bitterly burned
G/B D
That I could not stand to look at them
C1 G/B D
When he finally came to visit me, he was dressed in the rags of poverty
C1 G/B G/Bb D
And it came as no surpass, it came as no surprise, mmmmmm, mmmmmm
[CHORUS]
D C2
Hey, I am looking for freedom
G/B D
In the wild eyes of the dancing girls
D C2
Hey, I am looking for freedom
G/B D
In the open arms of America
D C2
Hey, I am looking for freedom
G/B D
In the wild eyes of the dancing girls
D C2
Hey, I am looking for freedom
G/B
In the open arms of America
