song-Under the sun

Under The Sun
This one needs the guitar tuned down to D
You only need it for the intro riff as follows

d|--------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------|
F|--------------------------------------------------------|
C|--------------------------------------------------------|
G|2-----2-2---9---8------------12---11--------------10--9-|
D|0-----0-0---7---6------------10---9---------------8---7-|

Normally I don't bother with the intro- the rest can be played as follows. If
you tune down to D then shift this up 2 frets.
4/4 Shuffle 3 = triplets
3 3 3 3
e|--------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------|
A|5---5--7--5--7--8--7--5--7--5---|
E|--------------------------------|(x2) each verse line

Well I don't want no Jesus freak to tell me what it's all about.
No black magician telling me to cast my soul out.
Don't believe in violence, I don't even believe in peace.
I've opened the door now and my minds been released.

At the end of each verse
3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3
e|--------------------------------------4h5p4--4-5\--|
B|--------------------------2-3-5-2-5-5------5-------|
G|----------------2-3---3-4--------------------------|
D|----2-3---2-3-5-----5------------------------------|
A|3-5-----5------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------|


[Verse 2]

Well I don't want no preacher telling me about the God in the sky.
No, I don't want no one to tell me where I'm gonna go when I die.
I want to live my life, don't want people telling me what to do
I just believe in myself 'cause no one else is true.

e|---------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------|
E|3-----3-----3--------3---1---2---| repeat

Every day just comes and goes
Life is just one long overdose
People drive to ruination
I can see from their frustration

e|---------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------|
E|5-----5-----5--------5---3---4---| repeat

People hiding their real faces
keep on running their rat races
Behind each flower there grows a weed
In their world of make believe


[Solo Over]

e|---------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------|
E|7-----7-----7--------7---5---6---| repeat


[Verse 3]

So believe what I tell you, it's the only way you'll find in the end.
Just believe in yourself, you know really shouldn't have to pretend.
Don't let those empty people try and interfere with you mind.
Just live you life and leave them all behind
