Genre: folk, singer-songwriter, soft rock


This one's not quite the same as the original Lady Magic. Ultimate Guitar

won't let me put the actual title,

which is "Fire and Vain". Follow the link to the video on YouTube. Overall,

it's pretty simple. 8 bars per

chord. It has a cool, wonky sort of sound for the rhythm that doesn't

necessarily lend itself well to guitar

so a strum pattern is largely up to you. Listen for the rhythm you like and

play that.

The bit of riff from James Taylor's Fire and Rain is played for one bar on

each chord change during the

chorus. It approximately sounds like the C and Bb F-shape played on the first

three strings at the 8th and

6th frets, respectively

[Verse]
Cm
Guess you could say she was beautifully plain
Cm
Brutally insane smooth like the break of a wave
Gm
She was cool like a magical groove on a January day, hey
Cm Cm
In one of her moves she was hot lemonade sweet sour and powerful up in your

face
Gm Gm
Now its tough to forget what she told you to say because it just unfolds on

the back of your mind
Cm Cm Gm Gm
All day, all day
Cm
Like silver sage is slowly burning sweetly from my shoulders to my scena with

a lonely little smile
Gm
Insane but at the same time so revealing to give you all the feeling

[Chorus]
Cm
Lady magic she was real good at it, the way that she got to my mind
Gm
Lady magic help me break my bad habits and put my darker days behind
Cm
She loves suggesting that life was so interesting all the time
Gm
Lady magic she was real good at it and im glad I get to call her mine

[Verse]
Cm
Although life used to treat me so I had so many places to go
Gm
Not so many places where I could feel at ease
Cm
But then something happened to turn a young speaker
Cm Gm
Into someone that had no choice but to inhale a song like wind and carried on
