(The easiest way, in my opinion, to play this is to drop your tuning down a half
step so you can bar all of the chords. great cross-picking exercise.)
[Intro]
(use the same picking pattern throughout the whole song (A= root string of chord)
i.e. E (6) or C#min (5)
A B A C D C B C
(so for E, you're picking in this order 6 5 6 4 3 4 5 4 (low e string = 6)
listen to the song and you will hear it instantly)
[Instrumental]
(play through twice)
E E E E
C#min C#min C#min C#min
[Verse]
E E E E
Hey little girl, is your daddy home? did he go and leave you all alone?
A A C#min C#min
mmmm.... I've got a bad desire .............
A B E
whoa- oh -oh I'm on fire
E E E E
Tell me now, baby, is he good to you? Can he do for you the things I want to?
A A C#min C#min
oh... I can take you higher.....
A B E
whoa- oh -oh I'm on fire
[Instrumental]
(play through twice- opposite of intro)
C#min C#min C#min C#min
E E E E
[Bridge]
A A
Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull
C#min C#min C#min C#min
and cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my skull
E E
at night, I wake up with the sheets soaking wet and
E E
a freight train running through the middle of my head
A A C#min C#min
and you...... can cool my desire.......
A B E
whoa- oh -oh I'm on fire
A B E
whoa- oh -oh I'm on fire
A B E
whoa- oh -oh I'm on fire
[Outro]
