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 (244322@1)a candle set a light F#keep (244322@1)on going against the stream F#be (244322@1)as mean as mean can be F#as (244322@1)long as you're not too extreme F#read (244322@1)the papers watch the news F#be (244322@1)informed and get the blues F#collect (244322@1)your garbage use the subway F# (244322@1) Bswaying (x2444x@1)you stay on the roof VERSE 2: F#Search (244322@1)for solutions for the future F#find (244322@1)resources drill for oil F#raise (244322@1)some powerplants and then F#burry (244322@1)them under the soil F#Rome (244322@1)is burning the emperor sings F#waiting (244322@1)for what time may bring F#his (244322@1)body caressed by the virgins F# (244322@1) Blaughing (x2444x@1)shy he turns around CHORUS 1: AAnd (x02220@1)spits into the fire Dand (xx0232@1)hopes that he can calm it down Afights (x02220@1)the flames with words D'cause (xx0232@1)they're cheaper than water Athinking (x02220@1)he can heal the world Dbut (xx0232@1)the only thing he really does Bis (x2444x@1)sitting on a sofa F#and (244322@1)spit into the fire VERSE 3: F#Rabbits (244322@1)running on the green F#and (244322@1)jump directly in your pan F#turtles (244322@1)transform into soup F# (244322@1) Benjoy (x2444x@1)them as long as you can VERSE 4: F#Silent (244322@1)sitting writing songs F#'bout (244322@1)all the idiots that pretend F#that (244322@1)their words can change the world F# (244322@1) BI (x2444x@1)think I'm right but in the end CHORUS 2: AI (x02220@1)spit into the fire Dand (xx0232@1)hope that I can calm it down Afight (x02220@1)the flames with words D'cause (xx0232@1)they're cheaper than water Athinking (x02220@1)I can heal the world Dbut (xx0232@1)the only thing I really do Bis (x2444x@1)sitting on the sofa Band (x2444x@1)spit into the fire OUTRO: F# (244322@1) Aand (x02220@1)spit into the fire (spit into spit into) E5 (022xxx@1) B5spit (x244xx@1)into it (spit into spit into) F#and (244322@1)hope that I can calm it down Afight (x02220@1)the flames with words E5'cause (022xxx@1)they're cheaper than water B5thinking (x244xx@1)I can heal the world Dbut (xx0232@1)the only thing I really do Bm (x24432@1) Dis (xx0232@1)sitting on the sofa and spit into the fire Bm (x24432@1) Dis (xx0232@1)sitting on the sofa and spit into the fire Bm (x24432@1) Bis (x2444x@1)sitting on the sofa and spit into the fire Bspit (x2444x@1)into it... ----- OK - that's it, man - remember: calm verses, intense choruses and outro is the key point.

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.
