Chords for Guitar Teacher REACTS: Carson McKee & Josh Turner - I'm On Fire (Bruce Springsteen Cover)

_ _ Oh yeah.
_ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Howdy ladies and gentlemen, Michael Pomazano here.
And today I'm doing one for my friend Larry Haislip.
He sent me an email and said, check out this Carson and Josh cover of I'm On Fire by Bruce Springsteen.
Now these two, I've seen a bunch of their videos, together and alone, and they're fantastic. _
[Ab] One of the best, some of the best of the best on the YouTube if you will.
So here we go.
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Hey little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go and leave you all alone?
[Ab] _
I've got a bad [Cm] inside.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Bb] Oh, [Eb] I'm on fire.
_ Tell me now baby, is he good to you?
Can he do to you the things that I [Bb] do?
I can [Cm] take you high.
_ _ [Ab] _
_ [Eb] Oh, I'm a fire.
_ [Cm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ Alright, so there's so many cool things. _
Bruce has some just fantastic songs.
This is a
perfect song.
It just is.
Now, they're tuned down _ _
to E flat.
Right?
So, it looks like they're playing
your 6 chord, [Dbm] C sharp minor, _ _ _ _ [Cm] up to the
1 chord, E major.
But, since it's tuned
down, what you're going to see me do is it's going to look, it's going to sound
like C minor, not C sharp, right?
Still a 6 chord. _ _ _
_ _ [C] E flat.
So, I'm doing pattern 2 here.
If you're familiar with the caged shapes.
[Cm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
[Cm] And these are relative
majors and minors.
So, this common tone, this E flat,
is the minor third of [Eb] C, and is obviously the
tonic [Cm] of E flat.
[C] And the rhythm, just like
[Cm] _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ [D] Josh is using a pick, it looks like, and Carson is
strumming it.
And I love the difference between the steel string and the nylon string guitar.
So, all those little things like that, that make everything just kind of pop, you know?
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _
And he is altering between C, or E [D] flat,
right?
[C] And that D.
It gives it that
suspension, right?
Where you're suspending the third on the C minor.
[G] _ _ _ _ _
And then [Eb] on your 1 chord, your E flat, _ _ _
makes it a major 7th, right?
You're adding in the 7th degree.
Really adds to that floatiness. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Sometimes [Ab] it's like something took a knife, baby, Adrian Dolan, took a [Cm] 6 inch
valley through the middle of my skull.
_ _ [A] What a _ great
little part of this song.
God, I forgot how
killer this song is.
Also forgot to mention that
the other chords you have in your verse and your chorus is your [Ab] 4
and your 5 chord.
So, it's going to sound like, it's going to look [Bb] like
A flat and B flat, [A] but they are going to [E] make it look like
A and [Ab] B.
_ _ _ [Eb] What a riff.
_ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Cm] 6 inch valley through the middle of my skull.
_ [Eb] At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet and a freight train
running through the middle of my [Ab] head.
_ To cool my [Cm] desire. _ _
[Ab] Oh, _ [Eb] I'm on fire.
I love how they do the I'm on fire and it holds over the [Bb] bar line.
Right?
It's not
Oh, _ [Eb] I'm on [Cm] fire.
How they hold for the fire.
_ _ [Ab] Oh, _ [Eb] I'm on fire.
_ [Ab] Oh, [Bb] _ I'm [Eb] on fire.
_ _ [Ab] Oh, _ [Eb] I'm on fire.
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] Yee-hoo.
Yee _ _ -hoo.
[Cm] Yee-hoo. _ _
_ _ Yee-hoo.
_ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] That melody, is [N] it off the 5 there?
Let's go back.
Let's go back.
I just, I love everything about [Cm] this song.
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Hey little girl,
is your daddy home?
Did he go and leave you
all alone?
[Ab] _ I got a [Cm] bad desire. _ _
[Ab] Oh, [Bb] _ [Eb] I'm on fire. _
Tell me now baby, is he good to you?
Can he do to you the things that [Bb] I do?
_ _ I can [Cm] take you high. _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] Oh, [Eb] I'm on fire. _
_ Perfect song.
Perfect feel.
Perfect delivery.
Perfect melody.
I mean,
it's just so many [Bb] simple things like that.
Yee-hoo.
[F] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ Yee [Eb]-hoo. _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
[G] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ [B] Eh, eh, eh, eh.
_ What a great song.
What a great, Bruce doesn't get enough credit.
Or maybe he does.
I don't know.
But, uh, Josh,
Carson, you guys, I'm a huge fan.
Huge fan.
You guys are great.
I'd love
to have you on the channel sometime and talk about some of your favorite songs and hear
a little bit more of your story and all that.
Love the delivery.
Love the video shoot.
Love the different guitars.
You know,
love how they're, you know, playing complementary rhythm
things.
One's using the pick, one's using the fingers.
You know, playing in different places.
The harmonies are so tasteful.
Everything about it, everything about it
is just fantastic.
Alright, well that's it.
Thank you so much
Larry for bringing this to my attention.
Hopefully you find this helpful.
What a classic tune that we all should know.
Did I even finish the end?
[Cm] Yee-hoo.
_ _ _ _ [Eb] Yee-hoo.
Love the open strings. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Fade out.
_ _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ Yeah, alright.
