Tips: Try to get the shuffle/rhythmn feel from the opening few bars
which starts with the strings being raked from high to low with a Bm chord
(the same applies to the Em7 chord before you hit G).
For the Bm,C+,D sequence just play the top four strings either
with a pick or your thumb (including Dd5 chord... hold a D chord
and slide your index finger down from 2nd to 1st fret)


Bm                        C+
I was thinking about the devil
        D                C+
when he tapped me on the head
       Bm                 C+
he was dressed like Jimmy Cagney
       D           C+
and he wasn’t even red
     Em7                        G
then Jesus came towards me and asked me for
       D
a cigarette
                   F#
and here’s what he said
            Bm              C+
he said be careful what you wish for
      D               C+
or it won’t ever come true
          Bm              C+
and if it does you will believe
           D                C+
that it’s entirely down to you
        Em7
I said that is very interesting
          G                        D
but can I light that cigarette for you
                     F#
he said listen it’s true
        D
he said hold back the fire
    F#
he coughed and he wheezed
        Bm          C+           D               Dd5
he said why is everybody talking to me on their knees
            G
he said the thing I like about you
                Gm                  D
is that you’ve never ever asked me please
                    F#
do you have some disease

 Instrumental:Bm,C+,D,C+,Bm,C+,D,C+,Em7,G,D,F#


           Bm           C+
I said well each and everyone of us
      D                  C+
has a light that shines inside
     Bm               C+
that sometimes can get damaged
          D            C+
and has a tendency to hide
         Em7
and the thing that you are selling
     G              D
is just our personality
                    F#
to feel guilty when free
          Bm             C+
just then Satan said I’m leaving
        D                  C+
I don’t like what’s in his head
   Bm             C+
it feels just like home
       D          C+
and he isn’t even dead
         Em7
it’s all runny eggs and strangers
G                      D
white lines and unmade beds
                  F#
and that’s when I said
       D
I said hold back the fire
F#
excuse me please
       Bm             C+
I said you won’t ever fool the likes
   D            Dd5
of Mr Spoons and me
              G
you know we’ve seen it all before
   Gm              D
on technicolour DVD
                   F#
do you know what I mean

  Instrumental:Bm,C+,D,C+,Bm,C+,D,C+,Em7,G,D,F#

         D
we said hold back the fire
   F#
he coughed and he wheezed
                Bm  C+         D         Dd5
he said from on high how am I supposed to see
                G                   Gm           D     F#
the things that happen every day to Mr Spoons and me
