"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.

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.
