Im On Fire

loving the wonderful gabrielle aplins version of this great song as can be seen here –

the song is played in an open G tuning ( dgdgbd ) with capo on fret 2 .

strumming pattern is essentially creating a steady rhythm on the bass G string with your
thumb while strumming the rest however
it feels comfortable for you . . but basically play it however you want with a carefree
strumming hand to get a good groove on .

here are the chords used , not sure of their proper names but i’ve just named them for
easy reading :

Em
and cut a six inch valley through the middle of my soul
