Song

FIRE INSIDE THE MAN
(Savage Garden)
Notes:
Here it is! This song is very easy, and a blast to play. I am sure that most of
it is right. The solos are definitely right, and all the chords except the
bridge I am positive of.
I'm aware the solos can be a bit confusing-- I usually use asteriks (*), but
this time it made more sense to use numbers. But Solo 3 also is indicated in
some places by an asterik. (!) Solos 1 and 2 are the same, except there is an
overlying C chord in Solo 2. I will transcribe out all the notes on all solos
but Solo 2, which is the same all Solo 1. (Whew!)
intro: Solo 1 (x2), Solo 2 (x2)
chorus:
woman i need your guiding hand
show me the way to the promised land
the fever that burns in my heart
you're the fire inside the man yes you are
whenever i feel like just giving up
whenever my dreams just fade away
i just return to my heart
cause i know that i'll find you there yes i will
and when the world is closing in
you come save me once again
(chorus)
well there's never been a boy who's luckier
there's never been more grateful man
and although i don't show it and I
i know what i've got with you yes i do
(chorus)
and if there's a storm that's close at hand
you'll push it away you'll understand
and i'll do anything just to please you
i'll do anything just to know that I can hold on to you 
C G F and/or [*Solo 3] (x4, of either)
whenever I feel like just giving up
whenever my dreams just fade away now
i just return to my heart
cause i know that i'll find you there yes i will
C * G F C *
cause woman i need it woman i need it woman i need it
i need it i need your guiding hand
(chorus)
