"SPIT INTO THE FIRE" - FURY IN THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE
-------------------------------------------------
OK, here is another FTSH tune, a song which features very mellow verses and
powerful choruses. It is easiest played with a capo at the 2nd fret position.
The lyrics are shown first, together with the main chords of the song. Then I
tab out the melodies, which the rhythm guitar uses to intonate the verses.
"Spit into the fire"

During the verses, the acoustic rhythm guitar plays the F# superimposing
the most dominant notes of the above melody line. I didn't bother writing
it all out, it is a lot easier just to try it out. It kind of falls into
place after a few tries.
OK, enjoy this great tune from the best rockband in Germany,
any comments and criticisms are extremely welcome.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official FURY IN THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
