Loving the wonderful Gabrielle Aplins version of this great song as can be seen here -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwDv4HfPrgw
The song is played in an open G tuning (DGDGBD) with capo on fret 2.
Strumming pattern is essentially creating a steady rhythm on the bass G string with your
thumb while strumming the rest however
it feels comfortable for you.. but basically play it however you want with a carefree
strumming hand to get a good groove on.
Here are the chords used, not sure of their proper names but i ve just named them for
easy reading:

[Intro]
x4
Hey little girl is your daddy home
Did he go and leave you all alone?
I ve got a bad desire
x4
Oh, oh, oh I m on fire
Tell me now baby is he good to you?
Can he do the things that I do?
Cause I can take you higher,
x2
Oh, oh, oh I m on fire
Sometimes it s like someone took a knife baby edgy and dull
And cut a six inch valley through the middle of my soul
Dadd4 x2
Well sometimes I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train runnin through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
Dadd4
Oh, oh, oh I m on fire
Dadd4
Oh, oh, oh I m on fire
Dadd4
Oh, oh, oh I m on fire
Dadd4
Oh, oh, oh I m on fire
