Sex On Fire’s chords, progressions, and TAB

Sex On Fire Analysis + TAB

For about a decade after its release in 2008, Kings Of Leon‘s Sex on Fire was every covers band’s encore.

Some still play it, and everyone attempting to make a living playing guitar is expected to know it so let’s get Sex on Fire’s chords right as it still pops up from time to time.

The riff is an E6 (chord I), quickly moving down to an E5 as the bar starts. Although the 2nd guitar is playing an E so I’ve described it as an E6E using chords and lyrics above.

Throughout Sex On Fire, you are going to have this problem of combining the 2 guitars into one part as most likely, when you play it, you’ll be the only guitarist.

Members get TAB and a full chord analysis, here’s a link to the complete lesson (members only): Sex On Fire chord analysis and TAB.
