Im On Fire by Bruce Springsteen - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Bruce Springsteen Song List

Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4 Version 5 Version 6 Version 7

            (The easiest way, in my opinion, to play this is to drop your tuning down a half 
step so you can bar all of the chords. great cross-picking exercise.)

[Intro]
(use the same picking pattern throughout the whole song (A= root string of chord) 
i.e. E (6) or C#min (5)

A B A C D C B C

(so for E, you're picking in this order 6 5 6 4 3 4 5 4 (low e string = 6)
listen to the song and you will hear it instantly)

[Instrumental] 
(play through twice)
E E E E
C#min C#min C#min C#min

[Verse] 
E                        E                  E                E    
Hey little girl, is your daddy home? did he go and leave you all alone? 
A      A                    C#min        C#min
mmmm.... I've got a bad desire .............
A                B            E
whoa-    oh     -oh    I'm on fire
E                        E                   E                     E 
Tell me now, baby, is he good to you? Can he do for you the things I want to?
A   A                C#min         C#min
oh... I can take you higher.....
A                B            E
whoa-    oh     -oh    I'm on fire

[Instrumental] 
(play through twice- opposite of intro)
C#min C#min C#min C#min
E     E     E     E

[Bridge]
A                                               A
Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull
           C#min                      C#min              C#min     C#min   
and cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my skull
   E                          E                
at night, I wake up with the sheets soaking wet and 
  E                                 E
a freight train running through the middle of my head 
    A      A              C#min       C#min
and you...... can cool my desire.......
A                B            E
whoa-    oh     -oh    I'm on fire
A                B            E
whoa-    oh     -oh    I'm on fire
A                B            E
whoa-    oh     -oh    I'm on fire

[Outro]
