(repeat as necessary)
do transition chords again before playing the intro chords to mark the end of the song
ending chord: Fm
note:
its quite difficult to represent certain music notations for a challenging song such as this. But to simplify, all chords in italic are "passing chords", which means they are played for one count less, chords in square brackets have "repetition". e.g. AbM9 is played as Eb/Ab - Ab - Eb/Ab - Ab - Eb/Ab - Ab - (if you listen to the song, you'll get the idea). Lastly, all chords within parentheses are "breaking" chords, it means they are played "off the beat". I hope that was clear and good luck :)
Post Script:
I have longed to play this song. And last Saturday, September 22, 2007, we were able to perform "Through the Fire" during the Campus Idol of ENCM. The song was performed by Ate Dahlia Paragas, with Nelson Mapiso on guitars, Ronald Claro on bass, Jomar Ropez on drums, and yours truly on keyboards.
The Nina version was played excellently by the Essence Band.
