Strange Fire

{tuning: Standard (EADGBE)}
[E]  [A]  [E]  [A]
{section: Intro}
I [E]come to you with strange f[A]ire, I make [E]an offering of l[A]ove
The [E]incense of my s[A]oul is burned by t[E]he fire in my bl[A]ood
I [E]come with a softer a[A]nswer to th[E]e questions that lie in you[A]r path
I want to [E]harbor you from the a[A]nger, find[E] a refuge from the [A]wrath

[D]   This is a message[E/A],      a[D] message of love[E/A]
[D]   Love that moves from the insid[E/A]e out,     l[D]ove that never grows t[E/A]ired
[B]   I come to you (I come to y[A]ou) with strange [E]fire,[A]   [E]   f[A]ire

Mercenaries of the shrine, now who are you to speak for god?
With haughty eyes and lying tongues and hands that shed innocent blood
Now who delivered you the power to interpret calvary?
You gamble away our freedom to gain your own authority

[D]   Find another state o[E/A]f mind, you know it's time we all l[D]earned to grab hol[E/A]d
D (9 fr.)            [E/A] [tacet]              [E]    [A]  [E]   [A](9)
   Strange fire burns with the motion of love,      love

{section: Guitar solo}
[E]Ah ah ahhh, ah ah ah [A]ahhhhh[E];  Ah ah ahhh, ah ah [A]ah ahhhhh

When you learn to love yourself, you will dissolve all the stones that are cast
You will learn to burn the icing sky and to melt the waxen mask
I said to have the gift of true release, this is a peace gonna take you higher
Oh I come to you with my offering, I bring you strange fire

This is a message, a message of love
Love that moves from the inside out, love that never grows tired
[B]   I come to you (I come to y[A]ou) with strange [E]fire,[A]   [E]   f[A]ire,[E]      [A]ahh...ahhh
[B]   I come to you (I come to y[A]ou) with strange [E]fire_[A]___[E]____[A]___[E]_______

CHORDS: [E]=022100        [A]=x07600 (slide up from [E])
        D (9 fr.)=x00230     [E/A]=x02100 (same as [Amaj9])
        [B](4)=x24440 (I think Emily plays x99800)     [A]=x02220

The chords for the verse follow this strumming pattern, alternating
between E & A(9), which is a really easy transition.  The rhythm is
sorta tricky, but you should be able to get it right with a little
practice.  (The funny symbols are semi-quavers and such.)
 |\          |\      |\  |\          |\      |\  |\  |\  |\  |\
 |           |       |\  |           |       |\  |\  |\  |\  |\
O|.         O|      O|  O|.         O|      O|  O|  O|  O|  O|
 1       -       2       -       3       -       4       -

The strumming pattern for the D(9) and E/A chords in the chorus goes
like this:
 |\      |\  |\      |\  |\  |\      |\  |\  |\      |\  |\  |\
 |       |\  |       |\  |\  |       |\  |\  |       |\  |\  |\

Lyrics and chords:
[E]    [A]   [E]    [A]

[E]I come to you with strang[A]e fire, I ma[E]ke an offe[A]ring of love
The i[E]ncense of my [A]soul is burned b[E]y the fire[A] in my blood.
I c[E]ome with a softer[A] answer to[E] the questions that lie in
your [A]path,
I want to [E]harbor you from th[A]e anger, [E]find a refuge from the
[A]wrath.
[Dsus2]This is a [A]messa[Dsus2]ge, a messag[A]e of love.
[Dsus2]Love that moves from the [A]inside [Dsus2]out, love that never grows
[A]tired.
[B]I come to you[A] with str[E]ange fire.
[E]Mercenaries of the [A]shrine, now w[E]ho are you to s[A]peak for God
With [E]haughty eyes an[A]d lying tong[E]ues, hands that shed
innocent b[A]lood.
Now who de[E]livered you the[A] power [E]to interpr[A]et calvary,
You g[E]ambled away our[A] freedo[E]m to gain your [A]own authority.
[Dsus2]Find another [A]state of [Dsus2]mind, reach out[A] and grab hold.
[Dsus2]Strange fire[A] burns with the moti[E]on of[A] love.

[E]When you learn to[A] love yourself, you [E]will dissolve all the            A(9)
stones that are cast.
Now you will [E]learn to burn the[A] icing sk[E]y, to melt the waxen
[A]mask.
I said to [E]have the gift o[A]f true release, h[E]ere's a peace
that will take you[A] higher.
[E]I come to you with m[A]y offering, I [E]bring you s[A]trange fire.
[Dsus2]This is a [A]messag[Dsus2]e, a messag[A]e of love.
[Dsus2]Love that moves from th[A]e inside [Dsus2]out, love that never grows
[A]tired.
[B]I come to [A]you with str[E]ange [A]fire.
[B]I come to [A]you (I come to you) with st[E]range[A] fire.
