Loving the wonderful Gabrielle Aplins version of this great song as can be seen here -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwDv4HfPrgw
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:

[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/g/gabrielle_aplin/im_on_fire_crd.html ]
G
Hey little girl is your daddy home
G2
Did he go and leave you all alone?
C Em
I've got a bad desire
C Dadd4 G > G2 x4
Oh, oh, oh I'm on fire
G
Tell me now baby is he good to you?
G2
Can he do the things that I do?
C Em
Cause I can take you higher,
C Dadd4 G > G2 x2
Oh, oh, oh I'm on fire
C
Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby edgy and dull
Em
And cut a six inch valley through the middle of my soul
Em Dadd4 x2
G
Well sometimes I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
G2
And a freight train runnin' through the middle of my head
C Em
Only you can cool my desire
C Dadd4 Em
Oh, oh, oh I'm on fire
C Dadd4 Em
Oh, oh, oh I'm on fire
C Dadd4 Em
Oh, oh, oh I'm on fire
C Dadd4 G
Oh, oh, oh I'm on fire
