Gm Bb6 C(add9) You soon find you have few choices, Cm(add9) Csus2 Gm I learned the voices died with me. Verse 1: Gm Bb6 Ebmaj7 When I was a child I'd sit for hours, Csus2 Ebmaj7 D7 Staring into open flames. Gm Bb6 Ebmaj7 Something in it had a power, Csus2 D7 Gm Could barely tear my eyes away. Chorus: Gm Bb6 Ebmaj7 All you have is your fire, Gm Bb D7 And the place you need to reach. Gm Bb6 Ebmaj7 Don't you ever, taaaame your demons, Csus2 D7 Gm Always keep them on a leash. Interlude: Gm D7 Eb Hmmm mmmh mhhh mhhhhmmmm Csus2 Cm Gm Hmmm mmmh mhhh mhhhmmmm Verse 2: Gm Bb6 Ebmaj7 When i was 16 my senses fooled me, Gm Bb D7 Thought gasoline was on my clothes. Gm Bb6 Ebmaj7 I knew that something would always rule me, Csus2 D7 Gm I knew this sin was mine alone. Chorus: Gm Bb6 Ebmaj7 All you have is your fire, Gm Bb D7 And the place you need to reach. Gm Bb6 Ebmaj7 Don't you ever, taaame your demons, Csus2 D7 Gm Always keep them on a leash. Verse 3: Gm Bb6 Ebmaj7 When I was a man I thought it ended, Gm Bb D7 Well I knew loves perfect ache Gm Bb6 Ebmaj7 But my peace has always depended, Csus2 D7 Gm on all the ashes in my wake Chorus: Gm Bb6 Ebmaj7 All you have is your fire, Gm Bb D7 And the place you need to reach. Gm Bb6 Ebmaj7 Don't you ever, taaaame your demons, Csus2 D7 Gm Always keep them on a leash.

How to play Arsonist’s Lullabye on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the all downs: d d d d. The groove sits around 132 bpm, a brisk pace. You are playing it in G minor; the original is in E minor. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Stomp the down-strums on every beat and build louder through each chorus.
