"Babe, I'm On Fire"
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Nocturama (2003)
(optional) Intro/verse riff/chord*:
Am Am/C
e|---------------0--0-0-0-0--|
B|---------------1--1-1-1-1--|
G|--2---2-2-2-2--2--2-2-2-2--|
D|--2---2-2-2-2--2--2-2-2-2--|
A|--0---0-0-0-3--3--3-3-3-3--|
E|--x---x-x-x-x--x--x-x-x-x--|
-Just listen to the song to figure out the strumming rhythm of this part.
*This makes playing the Am chord repeatedly through all the verses sound
like it almost still has the bass riff from the original song under it, which goes like this:
e|---------------------|
B|---------------------|
G|---------------------|
D|-------2/7-0-7-0-7---|
A|-0--3----------------|
E|---------------------|
Anyway,
Verse:
Am
Father says it, mother says it
Am
Sister says it, brother says it
Am
Uncle says it, Auntie says it
Am
Everyone at the party says it
G
Babe, I'm on fire
Am
Babe, I'm on fire
Chorus:
G F
Hit me up, baby, and knock me down
G F
Drop what you're doing and come around
G F
We can hold hands till the sun goes down
F
Cause I know
G F
That you
G F
And I
G F
Can be
G F ~~~ (pause)
Together
Am
Cause I...love...You
And go back to playing the verse [Am] (with the Am/C or otherwise)
It's simple enough, so just go here to get the full lyrics:
