And when the lunatics are coming in the late afternoon
A7 E
You may comfort me by saying that you're all by a tune, and you will say:
E G
I wonder what's so wrong about it, I wonder what's so happy about it
A7 E
And I want it now and you will never be alive
A7 E
I want it now, but you were never my kind
A7 E
So cry at night when the band pullet out

* Do you also get the feeling that the guitars on this track are out of tune?
Well they are, and that's the reason why I've written "12b" on the first riff.
Especially the G string is tuned a bit "wrong" and that becomes obvious when playing the
and the solo. You can cope with that by slightly bending every note on the G string OR
making sure that your guitar is out of tune too. Finally, the lyrics are taken from
(as usual) and I doubt they are any good.
