"SPIT INTO THE FIRE" - FURY IN THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE
-------------------------------------------------
OK, here is another FTSH tune, a song which features very mellow verses and
powerful choruses. It is easiest played with a capo at the 2nd fret position.
The lyrics are shown first, together with the main chords of the song. Then I
tab out the melodies, which the rhythm guitar uses to intonate the verses.
"Spit into the fire"
--------------------
VERSE 1:
F#
Burn a candle set a light
F#
keep on going against the stream
F#
be as mean as mean can be
F#
as long as you're not too extreme
F#
read the papers watch the news
F#
be informed and get the blues
F#
collect your garbage use the subway
F# B
swaying you stay on the roof
VERSE 2:
F#
Search for solutions for the future
F#
find resources drill for oil
F#
raise some powerplants and then
F#
burry them under the soil
F#
Rome is burning the emperor sings
F#
waiting for what time may bring
F#
his body caressed by the virgins
F# B
laughing shy he turns around
CHORUS 1:
A
And spits into the fire
D
and hopes that he can calm it down
A
fights the flames with words
D
'cause they're cheaper than water
A
thinking he can heal the world
D
but the only thing he really does
B
is sitting on a sofa
F#
and spit into the fire
VERSE 3:
F#
Rabbits running on the green
F#
and jump directly in your pan
F#
turtles transform into soup
F# B
enjoy them as long as you can
VERSE 4:
F#
Silent sitting writing songs
F#
'bout all the idiots that pretend
F#
that their words can change the world
F# B
I think I'm right but in the end
CHORUS 2:
A
I spit into the fire
D
and hope that I can calm it down
A

is sitting on the sofa
B
and spit into the fire

is the key point.

During the verses, the acoustic rhythm guitar plays the F# superimposing
the most dominant notes of the above melody line. I didn't bother writing
it all out, it is a lot easier just to try it out. It kind of falls into
place after a few tries.
OK, enjoy this great tune from the best rockband in Germany,
any comments and criticisms are extremely welcome.
