Song: I'm on fire Artist: Bruce Springsteen Composer: Bruce Springsteen Album: Born in the U.S.A. Tabbed by: DJ 8th Mar 2015 Here's a link to a live acoustic version, a semi-tone down from the album one, in Eb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jZxAWdfNp4 NOTE: In the live video Bruce plays with the Capo at the 3rd fret, so the song is a semi-tone lower than the original studio version. He also throws in random embellishments with a Csus4 (x33010), occasionally a Asus2 (x02200) and sometimes adds a passing B note (x2xxxx) between the Am and C chords in the Intro, Break and Coda. I would suggest using the voicings in the text column numbers below. Regarding the CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS please follow the information at the bottom of the tab. CAPO: 4th fret (Will then sound in the original recorded key of E) Chord names & fret positions relative to the capo: C = x32010 Am = x02210 F = 133211 G = 320033 Please take a second to scroll down to the bottom of the page and select a star rating for my tab, thanks ==================================================== [Intro]

Sometimes, it's like Fsomeone took a knife, Baby, Fedgy and dull, and cut a Csix-inch valley... ...Through the Ammiddle of my skull

Woo, Amhoo---, hoo! Woo - oo, hoo - Choo! ==================================================== As a very subtle alternative to the basic chords in the version below I've indicated chords suggested by a few additional notes that the keyboards add to the arrangement, so for a single acoustic guitar they may be a slightly more interesting option than just the long stretches of C and Am in the tab above
Chord names & fret positions are relative to the capo: Cadd9 = x32030 Am7 = x02213 C * = x32013 Am = x02210 Asus4 = x02230 [Alternative Intro x2]

===================================================== For the GUITAR chord box diagrams to match my suggested choices you need to manually select the following choice of options by clicking on the forward/backward arrows below four of the diagrams. The other boxes should be the default first option and don't need any reselecting. As long as you are logged into your account, these choices will be saved automatically for every time you view this tab.
