song : THROUGH THE FIRE (acoustic version)
original artist : Chaka Kahn (or Khan, whatever!)
acoustic rendition by : Paolo Santos a.k.a. Mr. Acoustic Genius!
Trancribed by : RossRyuSen
I have not seen any tab of this song in the INTERNET so decided to
put the first one. ( I hope it is the first, but if it's not,it's OK)
This tab is from the CD version.
To be quite honest, I don't know if the chords I used were correct
but it sure does sound pretty close to how Paolo Santos plays it.
(it's his version of the song anyway, so i guess i'll consider this
my version of Paolo's version of the song! he he he!)
Seriously, I believe this tab is about 80 to 90 percent correct.
you can LISTEN to the song for guidance.
For any comments and suggestions about this tab, drop me an e-mail
at this address: ross_senuj@yahoo.com
Legend tells that:
< > - means natural harmonics
* - means tap your guitar
PM - means palm mute (there are some more sections where PM is used
but I didn't bother putting them, but it's easy to figure out.)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is one great song guys can use to serenade the girl of their dreams.
That is if they prefer courtship the traditional way.
Or if they know how to play the guitar.
Or if they can do the squeaky voice.
I HOPE YOU'LL GET SOMETHING OUT OF THIS TAB AND EVENTUALLY MAKE A BETTER VERSION.
GOODLUCK!
