               "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.

"Spit into the fire"

                       A
fights the flames with words
                            D
'cause they're cheaper than water
                         A
thinking he can heal the world
                      D

VERSE 3:
F#
Rabbits running on the green

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.
