John Farnham: "Burn for you"
I only heard this song a few days ago while auditioning for a band. I was
asked by the band to learn the song for practice. Hopefully I got it right.
The song is taken from the John Farnham album "Full house " from 1991.
I have added some loose strings where avaiable to get a kind of "loose"
and "floating" feel to it. The guitarist on the album uses a bit of
reverb/chorus and achieves a nice floating/12 string kind of sound.
The lyrics and guitar sequence follow after the tab.
Good luck
Lee Francis

Lyrics & guitar sequence:
[Intro]
[Verse] Verse 1 Got myself into some trouble tonight
Guess I'm just feelin' blue
It's been so long since I've seen your face
This distance between me and you
[Verse] Verse 2 That voice you show me is not the one that I know
I must be strung out of what I do
Don't hang up again
There's nothing else I know how to do
[Chorus] Chorus Burn for you
What am I gonna do
Burn for you
[Verse] Verse 3 I guess it feels like your always alone
And I feel that way too
It's so hard to explain to you
Please understand what I do
[Chorus] Chorus Burn for you
What am I gonna do
Burn for you
Burn for you
[Bridge intro]
[Bridge] Bridge Took my trouble to a bar tonight
For another point of view
But there's nothing new
I'm missing you
[Chorus] Chorus Burn for you
What am I gonna do
Burn for you
Burn for you
[Bridge intro]
[Chorus] Chorus Burn for you
What am I gonna do
Burn for you
[Chorus] Chorus Burn for you
What am I gonna do
Burn for you
Burn for you
[End] End Burn... for... you...

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 JOHN FARNHAM 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.
