THE GUN CLUB - FIRE SPIRIT CHORDS

Tuning: E A D G B E

Fire Spirit by The Gun Club From the album Fire of Love (1981) I use standard “cowboy chords” for most of the song but for the E5/G chords use a 022xxx then plop a finger down on the third fret for a bass note 322xxx. Of course, the entire song could be played with power chords, especially if you’re using distortion. [Verse 1]
