“Fire” acoustic version by Mallory Knox
As performed here e.g.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIdnH0py8EU
Tuning: D G C F A D, Capo on 2 (and tuned to A=449Hz in above video)
(Which basically makes it standard tuning)
No idea what these chords are so I’ll just name them by their bass note.
‘o’ for open, which is actually 2nd fret with the capo.
Chords:
D: x 7 o o 9 o
Am: x o 4 o o o (or x o 4 4 5 o)
Em: x 9 9 o 10 o (or x 9 o o 10 o)
C: x 5 o o 7 o
C(10): 10 9 o o 10 o
G(12): x 12 o 14 14 o
F#m: x 11 o o 12 o
G: 3 2 o o 3 o
Also sounds reasonable just playing standard chords in standard tuning.
