Lloyd Cole – Forest Fire chords

Artist: Lloyd Cole
Song: Forest fire
Tabbed by: DJ
20th April 2013

Tuning: Standard
CAPO: 2nd fret (Sounds in key of A)

This chord transcription is intended for an acoustic guitar accompaniment
for a singer. Instead of the long lead guitar solo coda, I just repeat the
last line of the final verse.

For those who want it, the lead solo follows the progression of the
first verse repeated twice, and then just repeats the Am7 - Cmaj7 - G - G. 

Chord shapes relative to capo position:
G     =  320033    Gmaj7 =  3x0032    C  = x32010
Bm    =  x24432    Am7   =  x02010
Cadd9 =  x32010    Am    =  x02210

                          Cadd9           Gmaj7Then we'll burn your house down, don't it feel so good?
                   Am7    Cmaj7                        GIt's like a forest fire...every time we get together!

 G                         BmDoo, doo - doo! Doo - doo, doo, doo - doo------,
    Cadd9Hey, pick you up, put you down, rip you up, then spin you 'round,
     Gmaj7                                         AmJust like we said we would, 'cause we're a forest fire,
      Am   Bm   C                           GBe - lieve with me, we'll tear this place down!


                          G                             BmIf we get caught in this wind, then we could burn the ocean,
                          G                             BmIf we get caught in this wind----, we're gonna be un - done,
                        Cadd9                           Gmaj7Ah, it's just a simple metaphor, and it's for a burning love,
                    Am    Am   Bm   C                  GDon't it make you smile,                like a forest fire?


[Suggestion for coda, instead of lead solo]
                    Am    Am   Bm   C                  GDon't it make you smile,                like a forest fire?
                    Am    Am   Bm   C            (Cadd9)      G    (Gmaj7)Don't it make you smile,                like a... forest... fire?
