I'm predicting this is going to be my favorite song on his album.
Listen to the song for the picking pattern.
Bar chords sound best, to me.
Also, the lyrics a bit sketch...
The intro goes on for like 3 minutes, these are the chords:
Em C D Am B7
Em
Daddy I'm not going to say I'm sorry.
C
There ain't nothing you can do to change my mind.
D
I'm not here to know the things I can not do.
Am B7
We've seen the outcome of the boys who didn't fly.
Em
That road outside that'll you've been taking home forever,
C
that'll be the same road I take when I depart.
D
Those charcoal veins that hold this chosen land together,
Am B7
may twist and turn but somewhere deep there is a heart
Em
Playing with Fire.
C
You know you're going to hurt somebody tonight.
D
When you're out on a wire,
Am B7
you know you're playing with fire.
Em
perhaps this calling is the channel of invention.
C
I will not blush if others see it as a crime.
D
However dangerous the road, however distant.
Am B7
These things won't compromise the will of the design.
Em
Ten thousand demons hammer down with every foot step.
C
Ten thousand angles rush the wind against my back.
D
This church of mine may not be recognized by stepol,
Am B7
that doesn't mean that I will walk without a god.
Em
rolling river of truth, can you spare me a sip?
Am
The holy fountain of youth, has been reduced to a drip.
C
I've got this burning belief,
G
in salvation in love,
this notion may be naive,
C G
but when push comes to shove,
D
I will till this ground.
C G C
You know you're gonna hurt somebody tonight.
G D
Out on a wire.
C G
I might not get there.
C
This little town, this little house,
G Em Em
they seem to be leaning in the wrong direction.
D Em
I'm not afraid of you no more.
Em
Ohhhhhh
C
Ohhhhhh
D
Ohhhh
Am

B7
Ohhhhh (2x)

you know you're playing with fire.
