Chorus w/Rh.Fig.2 (4x)
E5 D5
I see the sadness in their eyes melancholy in their
E5 D5
cries. Devoid of all the passion the human spirit cannot
E5 D5
die. Look at the pain around me this is what I
E5 D5
cry for. Look at the pain around me this is what I die for
Repeat Rh.Fig.1
Verse 2 w/Rh.Fig.1 (4x)
Make the sadness go away come back another day
The things I've said and done don't matter to anyone
But still you push me to see something I can never be
Why am I their shuttered king? I don't mean anything
Chorus w/Rh.Fig.2 (4x)

Chorus w/Rh.Fig.2 (till end)
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official DANZIG tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
