My guitar’s tuned down to D standard, but in the style of e,B,G,D,A,E.

Since this song has a “dark” sound, it helps to tune down for effect, plus

it’s easier to play solos and you BREAK A LOT LESS STRINGS. This was

written while playing my Dean “Black Mamba” acoustic with “Black Diamond”

coated strings.

(I hate messing with alternate tunings, . . .keeping it in tune is

hard enough) Played this way, you can play the complete song including the

instumemtal, which I added for you enjoyment!

Intro: If you know the song, just pound out the drum beat on an open E chord! . . . “Get back!”

In between verses play the drum beat by raking muted strings

Can you feel I’m not like you anymore
I can’t see, I can’t breathe
See you quiver like the dogs on the streets
Looking down on as I beat you

It’s a bad religion
From a broken nation
It’s a contradiction

And I can’t take it anymore, Yeah

Repeat the same chords and strum the same beat!

Who’s to say I won’t like you anyway?
Take a deep breath I’m alive
Can you hear me? I’m alive inside you
Agony creeps up behind you

It’s a bad religion
From a broken nation
It’s a contradiction,

And I can’t take it anymore,anymore (repeat chorus with word overlapping

It’s a bad relig-bad religion
From a broken nation, A BROKEN NATION
And it’s contradiction . . . yeah (A string 3,2,0pen,2)
A:(3,2,open3-ring and hold 1 beat,2-r&h,open-r&h
E:3-r&h)
A~7,”with 2-3 open E drones before the notes”5(3 E drones),4,3

repeat the instrumental a few times before kicking into the “coda”

Can you feel it
I’ve gotta live with it every day.
And I can’t take the pressure,
I’m goin’ insane. Now go away
Go away . . . Yeah! (while holding a screamed “yeah” pound
out 16 more powerful drum beat open E chords . . .I counted them!)

TUNING: drop d (D-A-D-G-B-E)
