Tabbed by: DJ
20th Jan 2014
Tuning: Standard
(N.B. This is the way I prefer to play it, but I've made some brief notes
at the end of the song to show how Sandi performs it)
CAPO at 4th fret (Sounds in the key of C#m)
Chord shapes are relative to the capo position:
Am x02210 E 022100 Dm7 xx0211

H[Am]elp me g[C]et my f[Am]eet...[E] b[Am]ack to s[C]olid gr[Am]ound,[E7]
'Cause we're wa[Am]lking to the De[C]vil's b[Am]eat,[E]
And it's tr[Am]ying to br[C]ing us d[Am]own![E7]
Well, the D[Am]evil's got us rol[C]ling a [Am]six-sided di[E]ce,
And it's bu[Am]rning up the o[C]il, and me[Am]lting down the [E7]ice,
And the b[Am]ank tills are rin[C]ging to the t[Am]une of w[E]ar!
Do you e[Am]ver wonder w[C]hat it is we're fig[Am]hting f[E7]or?
[Dm7] Oh, oh - oh, [G]oh! It don't f[C]eel so good when the s[F]un don't shine,
[Dm7] Oh, oh - oh, [G]oh! We gotta le[C]ave this place, leave it a[F]ll behind,
[Dm7] Oh, oh - oh, [G]oh, before I lo[C]ose my head, and I lo[E]ose my m[E7]ind!
H[Am]elp me g[C]et my f[Am]eet...[E] b[Am]ack to so[C]lid gr[Am]ound,[E7]
'Cause we're wa[Am]lking to the De[C]vil's b[Am]eat,[E]
And it's tr[Am]ying to br[C]ing us d[Am]own![E7]
Oo, sw[Am]eet Mother Nat[C]ure's such a lo[Am]nely gi[E]rl,
Wh[Am]at's she gonna d[C]o when we s[Am]ell the wo[E7]rld?
T[Am]ime will only t[C]ell, if the pr[Am]ophecy's t[E]rue,
Has the De[Am]vil got the b[C]eat, or has the b[Am]eat got [E7]you?
[Dm7] Oh, oh - oh, [G]oh! It don't f[C]eel so good when the s[F]un don't shine,
[Dm7] Oh, oh - oh, [G]oh! We gotta le[C]ave this place, leave it a[F]ll behind,
[Dm7] Oh, oh - oh, [G]oh, before I lo[C]ose my head, and I lo[E]ose my m[E7]ind!
(No chords - muffle strings and scrub rhythm)
Help me get my feet...back to solid ground,
'Cause we're walking to the Devil's beat,
And it's trying to bring us down!
Come on, help me get my feet...back to solid ground,
'Cause we're walking to the Devil's beat,
And it's trying to bring us down!
[Dm7] Oh, oh - oh, [G]oh! It don't f[C]eel so good when the s[F]un don't shine,
[Dm7] Oh, oh - oh, [G]oh! We gotta le[C]ave this place, leave it a[F]ll behind,
[Dm7] Oh, oh - oh, [G]oh, before I lo[C]ose my head, and I lo[E]ose my m[E7]ind!
H[Am]elp me g[C]et my f[Am]eet...[E] b[Am]ack to so[C]lid gr[Am]ound,[E7]
'Cause we're wa[Am]lking to the De[C]vil's b[Am]eat,[E]
And it's tr[Am]ying to br[C]ing us...
...down!
