'Fire Inside The Man' by Savage Garden - Guitar Tutorial

            FIRE INSIDE THE MAN
(Savage Garden)


Notes:
Here it is! This song is very easy, and a blast to play. I am sure that most of
 it is right. The solos are definitely right, and all the chords except the
 bridge I am positive of.
I'm aware the solos can be a bit confusing-- I usually use asteriks (*),  but
 this time it made more sense to use numbers. But Solo 3 also is indicated in
 some places by an asterik. (!) Solos 1 and 2 are the same, except there is an
 overlying C chord in Solo 2. I will transcribe out all the notes on all solos
 but Solo 2, which is the same all Solo 1. (Whew!)


intro: Solo 1 (x2), Solo 2 (x2)

chorus:
             C             G     F
     woman i need your guiding hand
                 C                G  F
     show me the way to the promised land
                    C
     the fever that burns in my heart
                G F             C       G   F
     you're the fire inside the man yes you are

           C        C G
whenever i feel like just giving up
G           C                C F
whenever my dreams just fade away
  F       C
i just return to my heart
C       G                   G     F   F     G
cause i know that i'll find you there yes i will
G            C
and when the world is closing in
         C
you come save me once again

(chorus)

                   C          C     G
well there's never been a boy who's luckier
        G     C               C  F
there's never been more grateful man
               F     C
and although i don't show it and I
C  G                 G    C   C     G
i know what i've got with you yes i do

(chorus)

                 C
and if there's a storm that's close at hand
                C
you'll push it away you'll understand
            C                G
and i'll do anything just to please you
        C                G                          C G F
i'll do anything just to know that I can hold on to you

C G F  and/or  [*Solo 3]   (x4, of either)

           C           C  G
whenever I feel like just giving up
         G   Am             Am  F
whenever my dreams just fade   away now
       F C
i just return to my heart
C       G                   G   F     F     G
cause i know that i'll find you there yes i will
              C      *       G F               C       *
