🎶 THERE’S ALWAYS A FIRE IN THE KITCHEN
(Key: D Major • Time: 4/4 • Tempo: ~85 BPM • Folk/Country Style)
-------------------------------------
🎸 STRUMMING PATTERN (4/4 Folk Feel)
↓ ↓ ↑ ↑ ↓ ↑
(1 2 & & 3 &)
💡 Tips:
• Emphasize beat **1** (the root note) for that cozy, “home by the hearth” feeling.
• Keep strumming light and even — think warm and steady, like a crackling fire.
• Use palm muting on verses for intimacy; open up in the chorus.
Alternate rhythm for softer verses:
↓ (bass) ↓↑ (chord) ↓↑ (chord)
-------------------------------------
🎵 FINGERPICKING PATTERN (Simple Rolling Style)
p – i – m – i – m – i
(Thumb = bass; Index = G string; Middle = B string)
→ Thumb hits the root bass note on beat 1.
→ Fingers gently roll upward through beats 2–4.
→ Works best with light touch for verses.
