Artist: Noah Gundersen
Song: Fire
Album: Familty
I was supremely disappointed to see that this song was not on here.
Tuning:
Capo: 1st Fret
Listen for rhythm. Also, listen for the 3p0 at the end of the measures (On the low
D-string, pull-off the F to the D as you strum the D chord below). The song gets its feeling
mostly from rhythm, so listen for the subtle nuances and build ups in the strumming.
I'm unsure of exactly what these chords are because the high e is dropped to d. I will
refer them just as their roots: D, C1, C2, and B.

INTRO:
VERSE
i was born in a lighthouse
where my mother lay
and she wont wake for no shouting
i was raised by the water
by the crippling waves
and the gulls gave me my singing voice
PRECHORUS
when the devil came to visit me
he said son i am your enemy
fear me
but it came to my surprise
i was drawn by the fire
VERSE
i set off west in the springtime
before the flowers had bloomed
and the frost and ice followed me
i met a lot of fine women
with the small of their backs
shining like the crescent moon
PRECHORUS
when the finest came to visit me
she said son i am your enemy
fear me
but it came as no surprise
i was drawn by the fire
CHORUS
hey
i am looking for freedom
in the wild eyes of the dancing girls
hey
i am looking for freedom
in the open arms of america
VERSE
i was told to find jesus
in a stained glass church
where the light shines red like blood
but the eyes of his children
were so bitterly burned
that i could not stand to look at them
PRECHORUS
when he finally came to visit me
he was dressed in the rags of poverty
and it came as no surpass
it came as no surprise
CHORUS
hey
i am looking for freedom
in the wild eyes of the dancing girls
hey
i am looking for freedom
in the open arms of america
