Tuning: Standard

(Can i play with madness?)

Intro: D C G “Dsus4, D, Dsus4, D, Dsus2, D” x 2

Give me the sense to wonder

G “Dsus4, D, Dsus4, D, Dsus2, D”

To wonder if I’m free

Give me a sense of wonder

G “Dsus4, D, Dsus4, D, Dsus2, D”

To know I can believe

Give me the strength to hold my head up

G “Dsus4, D, Dsus4, D, Dsus2, D”

Spit back in their face

Don’t need no key to unlock this door

Gonna break down the walls

Break out of this bad place

(Chorus)

Can I play with madness – the prophet stared at his crystal ball

Can I play with madness – there’s no vision there at all

Can I play with madness – the prophet looked and he laughed at me

Can I play with madness – he said you’re blind, too blind to see

D C G “Dsus4, D, Dsus4, D, Dsus2, D”

(Ooooh, such a too blind to see)

D C G “Dsus4, D, Dsus4, D, Dsus2, D”

I screamed aloud to the old man

G “Dsus4, D, Dsus4, D, Dsus2, D”

I said don’t lie don’t say you don’t know

I say you’ll pay for this mischief

G “Dsus4, D, Dsus4, D, Dsus2, D”

Oh, in this world or the next

Oh and then he fixed me with a freezing glance

G “Dsus4, D, Dsus4, D, Dsus2, D”

And the hellfires raged in his eyes

He said do you want to know the truth son

Lord, I’ll tell you the truth

Your soul’s gonna burn in the lake of fire

(Chorus)

(Solo)

(Chorus)

END

If you listen to the song at the chorus, theres some small change in the notes

after the lyrics go “stared in his crystal ball” and “no vision here at all”

Those small parts go:

e|—————————————————————————|
B|—————————————————————————|
G|———-6–7–6–4——————————————————-|
D|———————-7–4————————————————-|
A|—————————————————————————|
E|—————————————————————————|

e|—————————————————————————|
B|—————————————————————————|
G|—————————————————————————|
D|—————————————————————————|
A|——————–0–2–0————————————————|
E|———–0–2–3———————————————————|

Also, note that the G played in this song is the so called “rock” G, meaning you

also hold in the 2nd fret on the B string.

Enjoy!
