[Intro]
Eb Eadd#11/Eb
Devil unkind always creeping in the blind
Dbsus2 Badd9 Eb
With shadows of the dearly departed
Eb Eadd#11/Eb
Planting the seed that in time will bloom to be
Dbsus2 Badd9 Eb
Trouble that will rip you apart
[Pre Verse]
Eb (While playing this Eb chord for this part, add some color to
the chord by pulling off and hammering on with your index finger
on the first fret of the G string and on the third fret of the B
string with your pinky. So, this gives you Ebm: 0-2-2-0-0-0 and
E7/Eb: 0-2-2-1-3-0)
[Verse 1]
Eb Abadd9/Eb
I cannot lie, I am barely holding on
B7M/D# C#6/Eb Eb
Caught in the mire I've come to know for way too long
Eb Abadd9/Eb
Drawn to the light but now the light is dead and gone
B7M/D# C#6/Eb
If there is a God, why did he take my father's soul
[Pre-Chorus 1]
*Just after "father's soul" you mute the strings with your left
hand fingers and play this scratchy percussive pattern to the
rhythm. Half-way through it you play this lick:
e|---------------|
B|---------------|
G|---------------|
D|-----------0---|
A|-----0-1-2-----|
E|-0-3---------0-|
[Chorus]
B F#
I cannot fight this worried mind
Absus2 Eb
In the end, it's all my fault
B F#
The fate you find, you choose in time
Absus2 Eb
When you draw the Devil on the wall
[Pre Verse]
Eb (With hammer-ons and pull-offs)
[Verse 2]
Eb Abadd9/Eb
Voices inside, they keep screaming in my head
B7M/D# C#6/Eb Eb
A choir of anguish pulling me into the dark
Eb Abadd9/Eb
A slow-moving calm that I am needing left for dead
B7M/D# C#6/Eb
Solace to me, it seems to be so very far
[Pre-Chorus 2]
*Just like before your play the scratchy pattern but this time
without the lick, and half-way through you stop completely
before playing the chorus
[Chorus]
B F#
I cannot fight this worried mind
Absus2 Eb
In the end, it's all my fault
B F#
The fate you find, you choose in time
Absus2 Eb
When you draw the Devil on the wall
[Instrumental]

When you draw the Devil on the wall
