[Intro]
Em C G D
Em C G D
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em  D                           Am       C
We, we don't have to worry bout nothing (nothing)
                 Em              D                     Am         C
Cause we got the fire, and we're burning one hell of a something (something)
Em    D                      Am           C
They, they gonna see us from outer space, outer space
         Em  D                           Am          C
Light it up, like we're the stars of the human race, human race
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
         Em            C                G              D
When the lights turned down, they don't know what they heard
           Em             C            G           D
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
         Em          C              G         D
We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky
                 Em          C                     G         N.C.
Cause we got the fire, fire, fire, yeah we got the fire fire fire
 
 
[Chorus]
                    Em        C
And we gonna let it burn burn burn burn
                G         D
We gonna let it burn burn burn burn
             Em        C
Gonna let it burn burn burn burn
                G         D
We gonna let it burn burn burn burn
 
 
[Verse 2]
               Em     D                    Am         C
We don't wanna leave, no, we just gonna be right now (right now)
            Em   D                     Am                          C
And what we see, is everybody's on the floor acting crazy, getting loco 'til the light's out
        Em  D                 Am                    C
Music's on, I'm waking up, we stop the vibe, and we bump it up
         Em           D                        Am          C
And it's over now, we got the love, there's no secret now, no secret now
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
         Em            C                G              D
When the lights turned down, they don't know what they heard
           Em             C            G           D
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
         Em          C              G         D
We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky
                 Em          C                     G         N.C.
Cause we got the fire, fire, fire, yeah we got the fire fire fire
 
 
[Chorus]
                    Em        C
And we gonna let it burn burn burn burn
                G         D
We gonna let it burn burn burn burn
             Em        C
Gonna let it burn burn burn burn
                G         D
We gonna let it burn burn burn burn
 
         Em            C                G              D
When the lights turned down, they don't know what they heard
           Em             C            G           D
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
                Em        C                G       D

Hi, great job on the tab! However, I think that for the verses, the chords should also be Em, C, G, D, but it sounds good both ways. Thanks:)

hi I make fingHi. I make fingerstyle covers, and when making them you need good chords, and in my opinion, these are perfect. Thankyou :) - N.

I much prefer capo on 1 and use Am F Em G all the way, except for Am Dm C G for "We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky" and Em F Am rest for "Cause we got the fire, fire, fire, yeah we got the fire fire fire".
