So this is my first tab, I mostly made it for myself to try some mash-up things but if you like it, enjoy!
Because this is a mash-up, I changed some chords to combine the songs, you should also do that with
the singing. For the strumming/ fingerpicking, just freestyle (If you're not used to do that, just
give it a try).
Capo goes on the third fret (5th fret is also possible for people with a higher voice).
[Intro]
Am C G Dm
[Verse, Set fire to the rain]
Am C
I let it fall, my heart,
G Fmaj7
And as it fell, you rose to claim it,
Am C
It was dark and I was over,
G Fmaj7
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me,
Am C
My hands, they're strong,
G Fmaj7
but my knees were far too weak,
Am C
To stand in your arms
G Fmaj7
without falling to your feet,
[Verse Dirty paws]
Am C
Jumping up and down the floor
C Fmaj7
My head is an animal
Am C
And once there was an animal
C Fmaj7
It had a son that mowed the lawn
Am C
The son was an ok guy
C Fmaj7
Thay had a pet dragonfly
Am C
The dragonfly it ran away
C Fmaj7
But it came back with a story to say
[Refrain Set fire to the rain]
F Fmaj7
But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew,
Am Am
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true,
F G
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win,
[Chorus Set fire to the rain]
Am Am/B
But I set fire to the rain,
G Am/B
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Fmaj7
Well, it burned while I cried,
Fmaj7 F Am G
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name,
[Bridge Set fire to the rain ]
F C
Sometimes I wake up by the door,
Em G
And heard you calling, must be waiting for you,
F C
Even now when we're already over,
Em G
I can't help myself from looking for you,
Am C G Fmaj7
[Verse Home ]
Am
Alabama, Arkansas,
C
I do love my ma and pa,
C/E C F
Not the way that I do love you.
[verse Home ]
Am
Well, Holy, Moley, me, oh my,
C
You're the apple of my eye,
C/E C F
Girl I've never loved one like you.
[verse Home ]
Am
Man oh man you're my best friend,
C
I scream it to the nothingness,
C/E C F
There ain't nothing that I need.
[verse Home ]
Am
Well, hot and heavy, pumpkin pie,
C
Chocolate candy, Jesus Christ,
C/E C F
Ain't nothing pleases me more than you.
[Chorus Home ]
Am C
Ahh Home. Let me come home
C/E C F
Home is wherever I'm with you.
Am C
Ahh Home. Let me go ho-oh-ome.
C/E C F
Home is wherever I'm with you.
[verse Dirty paws]
Am C
And for a while things were cold
Fmaj7
They were scared down in their holes
Am C
The forest that once was green
Fmaj7
Was colored black by those killing machines
Am C
But she and her furry friends
Fmaj7
Took down the queen bee and her men
Am C
And that's how the story goes
Fmaj7
The story of the beast with those four dirty paws
