"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:

Burn a candle set a light

keep on going against the stream

be as mean as mean can be

as long as you're not too extreme

read the papers watch the news

be informed and get the blues

collect your garbage use the subway

swaying you stay on the roof

VERSE 2:

Search for solutions for the future

find resources drill for oil

raise some powerplants and then

burry them under the soil

Rome is burning the emperor sings

waiting for what time may bring

his body caressed by the virgins

laughing shy he turns around

CHORUS 1:

And spits into the fire

and hopes that he can calm it down

fights the flames with words

'cause they're cheaper than water

thinking he can heal the world

but the only thing he really does

is sitting on a sofa

and spit into the fire

VERSE 3:

Rabbits running on the green

and jump directly in your pan

turtles transform into soup

enjoy them as long as you can

VERSE 4:

Silent sitting writing songs

'bout all the idiots that pretend

that their words can change the world

I think I'm right but in the end

CHORUS 2:

I spit into the fire

and hope that I can calm it down

fight the flames with words

'cause they're cheaper than water

thinking I can heal the world

but the only thing I really do

is sitting on the sofa

and spit into the fire

OUTRO:

and spit into the fire (spit into spit into)

spit into it (spit into spit into)

and hope that I can calm it down

fight the flames with words

'cause they're cheaper than water

thinking I can heal the world

but the only thing I really do

is sitting on the sofa and spit into the fire

is sitting on the sofa and spit into the fire

is sitting on the sofa and spit into the fire

spit into it...

-----

OK - that's it, man - remember: calm verses, intense choruses and outro

is the key point.

Chord legend:

F# 244322

B *24442

Bm *24432

B5 *2442*

A 542225

D *54232

E5 **2452

Here goes the verse melodies:

VERSE 1+2:

VERSE 3:

VERSE 4:

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.
