FIRE INSIDE THE MAN
(Savage Garden)
Notes:
Here it is! This song is very easy, and a blast to play. I am sure that most of
it is right. The solos are definitely right, and all the chords except the
bridge I am positive of.
I'm aware the solos can be a bit confusing-- I usually use asteriks (*), but
this time it made more sense to use numbers. But Solo 3 also is indicated in
some places by an asterik. (!) Solos 1 and 2 are the same, except there is an
overlying C chord in Solo 2. I will transcribe out all the notes on all solos
but Solo 2, which is the same all Solo 1. (Whew!)
intro: Solo 1 (x2), Solo 2 (x2)
chorus:
C G F
woman i need your guiding hand
C G F

C
the fever that burns in my heart
G F C G F

C G
and i'll do anything just to please you
C G C G F
i'll do anything just to know that I can hold on to you
C G F and/or [*Solo 3] (x4, of either)
C C G
