Oh to be the fire, I am just a man
Oh to walk the wire, believing that I can
And reach on down your throat to tear it out
Find out what the beatings all about

For the 2nd verse, play Riff B and Riff C again, after that, repeat
Fill 2 and instead of the last D#, hold a D (lowest
string, 1st fret)
(2nd verse)
Oh to slay the liar, he speaks for me, a man
Oh to try, conspire, believing that I can
And reach into your heart to pull it out
Find out what the beating's all about
(Chorus)
Justify my envy
Jealousy to fail
In perfect, deadly harmony
Hold the Devil by the tail
Devil by the tail
Then we enter the faster part, first, the guitar plays for 8 measures,
when the bass and drums enter, the bass plays this
easy riff,
during the bridge as well:
Riff D (Play 8 times, vocals enter 5th time):
|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||
|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||
|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||
|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-||
(Bridge)
Run your Devil up the pole
Into my domain
The forgotten drool, like rabid dogs
By any other name
They growl, they bark, they gnaw at me
I still hear them wail
Play to hold what I hold
A Devil by the tail
During the "DEVIL...by the TAIL"-part, the bass plays this
Riff E:
|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||
|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||
|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||
|0-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|2-3---3---3---3-|0-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|2-3---3---3---3-||
Devil by the tail
Then repeat riff D once
(Bridge)
Run your devil out your soul
By any other name
The second "DEVIL...by the TAIL"-part is pretty much the same
as the first one, except for the last measure
Fill 4:
|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||
|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||
|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||
|0-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|2-3---3---3---3-|0-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|2-3---5-6-------||
Devil by the tail
Then repeat Riff D once and play Riff E twice. After that, repeat
Riff D 4 times.
(Bridge)
Devil, devil, devil, devil
Hey mr. Lucifer, do you have my pay?
I'm done with working here as of today
Hey mr. Savior, to you ever seem to fail?
And got what I got, a Devil by the tail
The finishing riff is repeated until the end of the song
Riff F (Repeat and fade):
|----------------|----------------||
|----------------|----------------||
|----------------|----------------||
|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|0-3---3---3---1-||
(Bridge)
Devil, devil, devil, devil
Devil by the tail (Repeat and fade)
