The Fire Down Below Chords

  			 

Here's a great, easy tune that's fun to mess with and perform. I hadn't seen this one up here yet, so  
I thought I'd stick it up here. Great beginner song for those just learning the blues shuffle formation and 
the notes / keys that associate with it.

Intro: Fake a solo in C 

C 
Here comes old Rosie, she's looking mighty fine  
Here comes hot Nancy, she's steppin' right on time  
There go the street lights bringin on the night  
Here come the men, faces hidden from the light  
F 
All through the shadows  
D#              C                         
Ah, they come and they go   
G 
With only one thing in common  
F                    C  
They got the fire down below  


C 
Here come the rich man in his big long limousine  
Here come the poor man all you got to have is green  
Here come the banker and the lawyer and the cop  
One thing for certain it ain't never gonna stop  

F 
When it all gets too heavy  
D#                    C 
That's when they come and they go, they go  
G 
With only one thing in common 
F                      C 
They got the fire down below  


F                     C 
It happens out in Vegas, it happens in Moline  
F 
On the blue blood streets of Boston  
C 
Up in Berkeley and out in Queens  
F                           C 
And it went on yesterday and it's going on tonight  
D                               G 
Somewhere there's somebody ain't treatin' somebody right  

C 
And he's looking out for Rosie, she's looking mighty fine  
And he's walking the streets for Nancy  
And he'll find her everytime  
And when the street lights flicker bringing on the night  
Well they'll be slipping into darkness, slipping out of sight  
F 
All through the midnight  
D#                           C 
Watch 'em come and watch 'em go, ahh go  
           G 
With only one thing in common  
F                      C  
They got the fire down below 
Ahh, burning down below

Chorus 

C 
And he's looking out for Rosie, she's looking mighty fine  
And he's walking the streets for Nancy

And when the street lights flicker bringing on the night  
Well they'll be slipping into darkness, slipping out of sight  
F 
All through the midnight  
D#                           C 
Watch 'em come and watch 'em go, ahh go

With only one thing in common  
F                      C  
They got the fire down below 
              G 
Ohh, they got one thing in common  
F                      C 
They got the fire down below 
         G                 F (STOP) 
Only got one thing in common  
                      C 
They got the fire down below
