Song: FIRE Artist: BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN Album: LIVE 1975-'85 -------------------- Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, kfemil@telia.com Standard tuning Comments: There´s not much to this bassline but it is the very spine of the song. If it doesn´t lock in, the song falls flat. Dig the half-step approach notes which give things a slightly swaying feel in the bridge. Key: / = slide up \ = slide down b = bend (whole step) b^ = bend (1/2 step) b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps) pb = pre-bend r = release-bend t = tap with righthand finger h = hammer-on p = pull-off ~ = Vibrato * = Natural Harmonic #(#) = Trill x = Dead notes (no pitch) P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes) Tp = Tap w\plectrum Rhythm Fig. 1 G|----------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------| E|--3------3--0--0--3--------3----3--0--0--3----------| Rhythm Fig. 2 G|----------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------| E|--3------3--0--0--3---------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 3 G|----------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------| E|--3------3--0--0--3-------3----3--0--0--3--0--------| Rhythm Fig. 4 G|----------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------| E|--5------5--0--0--5-------5----5--0--0--5-----------| Rhythm Fig. 5 G|----------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------| E|--5------5--0--0--5-------5----5--0--0--5--0--------| Rhythm Fig. 6 G|----------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------| A|--7------7--------7-------7----7--------7-----------| E|------------7--7------------------7--7--------------| Rhythm Fig. 7 G|----------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------| E|--7/-8--8--7/-8--8--7/-8--9/-10--10--9/-10--10--10\-| Rhythm Fig. 8 G|----------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------| E|--7/-8--8--7/-8--8--7/-8--10--10--8--8--7--7--5--0--| Rhythm Fig. 9 G|---------------------------------------------4------| D|---------------------------4/-5--5--5--4/-5-----5---| A|--2/-3--3--3--2/-3--3--3----------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------4------| D|---------------------------4/-5--5--5--4/-5-----5---| A|--4/-5--5--5--4/-5--5--5----------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------| G|----------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------4/-5--5--5--4/-5--6--6---| A|--2/-3--3--3--2/-3--3--3----------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------| G|----------------------------------------------------| D|--7--7--7--7--------7\------------------------------| A|--------------0--0--------5-------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------| FIRE Springsteen [Rhy.
