Artist: The Ink Spots Album: My Prayer Song: I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire (1941) Genre: Vocal Groups Created By: eddyluten@gmail.com Created On: 11/24/2008 You might want to adjust your guitar a bit to match the specific recording you have since these were extracted from 78's and the pitch might be off. I had to screw the pitch up by about a whole note to match the "My Prayer" album. When playing accent the bass root-note on the down strum and the higher pitched three strings on the up strum to get the effect you hear on the record (and so the chords sound proper). Also, don't use a pick, use your thumb to soften the sound. LEGEND: ^ = down strum (eadgbe) v = up strum (ebgdae) () = optional p = right hand thumb i = right hand index finger m = right hand middle finger a = right hand ring finger c = right hand little finger CHORDS USED: eadgbe Am: 577555 Bb: x13331 Bbm: x13321 Bb7: 686766 C7: x32310 Dm7: x57565 F: 133211 F7: 131211 Gm: 355333 FILL: p i m i p i m i p i m i p i ^ e||----------|----------|----------|-----3----|| b||----------|----------|----------|-----5----|| g||----------|----------|----------|-----3----|| d||------0---|------0---|------0---|---5-5----|| a||----3---3-|----3---3-|----3---3-|-3---3----|| e||-1--------|-2--------|-3--------|----------|| ------------------------------------------------------ Play INTRO once: p i m i p i m i p i m i ^ v ^ e||----------|----------|----------|-3-5-3----|| b||----------|----------|----------|-5-5-5----|| g||----------|----------|----------|-3-3-3----|| d||------0---|------0---|------0---|-5-5-5----|| a||----3---3-|----3---3-|----3---3-|-3-3-3----|| e||-1--------|-2--------|-3--------|----------|| ------------------------------------------------------ CHORUS: F (Bb7 Am) Gm I don't want to set the world on fire, Bbm C7 Play FILL once I just want to start a flame in your heart.
