And it makes a firery ring
Down, my wild desires
I fell into a ring of fire

I went down down down, and the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire

I went down down down, and the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire

The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
Ohh but the fire was wild

Out Chorus (1:47)
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I went down down down, and the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I went down down down, and the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire
And it burns burns burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire,
The ring of fire, the ring of fire

Enjoy

You can play it in teh original key without a capo. All guitar shops will stock capo's, they are a pretty common piece of equipment.
