The Fire Down Below
Words and Music by Bob Seger
capo 3d fret (actual key is C)
===================
[A]Here comes old Rosie, she s looking mighty fine
Here comes hot Nancy, she s steppin right on time
There go the street lights bringin on the night
Here come the men, faces hidden from the light
[D]All through the shadows
[C]Ah, they come and they [A]go
With only [E]one thing in common
[D]They got the fire down be[A]low
[A]Here come the rich man in his big long limousine
Here come the poor man all you got to have is green
Here come the banker and the lawyer and the cop
One thing for certain it ain t never gonna stop
[D]When it all gets too heavy
[C]That s when they come and they [A]go, they go
With only [E]one thing in common
[D]They got the fire down be[A]low
chorus:
It [D]happens out in Vegas, it [A]happens in Moline
On the [D]blue blood streets of Boston
Up in [A]Berkeley and out in Queens
And it [D]went on yesterday and it s [A]going on tonight
Some[B7]where there s somebody ain t [E]treatin somebody right
And he s [A]looking out for Rosie, she s looking mighty fine
And he s walking the streets for Nancy
And he ll find her everytime
And when the street lights flicker bringing on the night
Well they ll be slipping into darkness, slipping out of sight
[D]All through the midnight
[C]Watch em come and watch em [A]go, ahh go
With only [E]one thing in common
[D]They got the fire down be[A]low
Ahh, burning down below
[break]
[chorus]
And he s [A]looking out for Rosie, she s looking mighty fine
And he s walking the streets for Nancy
And he ll find her everytime
And when the street lights flicker bringing on the night
Well they ll be slipping into darkness, slipping out of sight
[D]All through the shadows
[C]Watch em come and watch em [A]go, ahh, they go
With only [E]one thing in common
[D]They got the fire down be[A]low
Ohh, they got [E]one thing in common
[D]They got the fire down be[A]low
Only got [E]one thing in common
[D]They got the fire down be[A]low
[outro]
