(intro)
B E F# E B E F# E

  B    E F#
unholy
       E          B     E F#
I feel sick and unholy
        E             B       E F#
my soul don't want to know me
          E           B     E F#
I've been living like dirt


(keep strumming F# for a bit and play riff 1 over it)

          riff 2
Hey lover
                              riff 2
