 	       "SPIT INTO THE FIRE" - FURY IN THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE 
                ------------------------------------------------- 
  
  
 OK, here is another FTSH tune, a song which features very mellow verses and 
 powerful choruses. It is easiest played with a capo at the 2nd fret position. 
 The lyrics are shown first, together with the main chords of the song. Then I 
 tab out the melodies, which the rhythm guitar uses to intonate the verses.

 During the verses, the acoustic rhythm guitar plays the F# superimposing 
 the most dominant notes of the above melody line. I didn't bother writing 
 it all out, it is a lot easier just to try it out. It kind of falls into 
 place after a few tries. 
  
 OK, enjoy this great tune from the best rockband in Germany, 
 any comments and criticisms are extremely welcome.
