                        BEAT THE DEVILS TATTOO - BRMC
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Based on various live acoustic versions - mostly on what Rob plays.  You may wish
to look up some videos to get the idea.

Tuning: Open E Minor (eBGEBE)

Intro and verse (strum it how you like - play the open strings if you must; it 
is important to get the rhythm right):

e|0--------------------------------------------------0-----------------------|
B|0---------------------------------------------------0----------------------| 
G|0----------------------------------------------------0---------------------|
E|0-3-5-7-7-7--10-7-5-3-0--12-10-7-0-5-5-0-5-7-5-0-3----0--------------------|
B|0----------------------------------5-5-0-5-5-5-0-3-----0-------------------|
E|0----------------------------------5-5-0-5-5-5-0-3------0------------------| x4
You have forsaken all the love you've taken
Sleepin' on a razor there's nowhere left to fall
Your body's aching, every bone is breakin'
Nothin' seems to shake it, it just keeps holdin' on


Chorus (brb = bend and release bend - again, strum it to how you think sounds good):

E|0-3-5-3-0-0-0--------------0------0-0--0-3-0-7-7-7-0--7-0-3------0---------| x2
Ahh ahh aahhh ahhh ahh (etc)

Second verse the same as first:
Your soul is able, death is all you cradle
Sleepin' on the nails, there's nowhere left to fall
You have admired, what every man desires
Everyone is king when there's no one left to pawn

Chorus:
Ahh ahh aahhh ahhh ahh (etc)

There is no peace here, war is never cheap dear
Love will never meet here, it just gets sold for parts
You cannot fight it, all the world denies it
Open up your eyelids, let your demons run

Chorus:
Ahh ahh aahhh ahhh ahh (etc)
