For you I cool the streets with the wind at night
G#m
in the day I beat with the sun the cobblestones
C#
and cool (no idea what he sings here)
F# B
The earth I fill with diamonds plus light
G#m C#
to say they never ever bite
I promise...
Chorus:
F# B
With you God chose me his wife
G#m
Lucifer and the mother of witches
C#
in marriage they unite
F# B
My gremlins color purple left and light
G#m C#
to say they never, ever bite
I promise...
Next up there is a short instrumental solo
with one chorus in the background.
Just play some random F# major scale notes and it
will sound great
I promise...
Chorus:
F# B
May 9th, 1976 Satan's came to earth view May 9th
G#m
gremlins have pictures
C#
of the anniversary of Christ
F# B
The square root of zero, something smaller than zero
G#m
which keeps getting smaller
C#
keep you out of sight and soul.
I promise...
Short solo here again, just do the same thing
as mentioned before
I promise...
