Verse 2
----------------------------
(The chords for the next verse and chorus are the same as before)
Hey Judy
Can you imagine how I feel
Can't we try to make a deal
'Cause you love me
And I love you too
I'm so good for you
But will you condemn me to hell
When you know why I dance so well
----------------------------------
chorus
----------------------------------
I am satan (i am satan)
I rule darkness and fight off the day
I am satan (i am satan)
You may wanna run
But I hope you will stay
I am satan
This year's king of the underworld
But there's nothing I can do
And I'd feel oh so blue without you

|-2------2-----2------2------2-----2------|--- this here is the diminished picking riff
played at the start and after the first 3
lines of the bridge (sounds best palm muted quite heavily)
C
You run as fast as you could go -- (Diminished picking riff)
C
You need not fear me I won't follow -- (Diminished Picking riff)
C
You'll always have respect from me -- (Diminished picking riff)
C
Now what do I see
G
You're walking back to me

Chorus + Outro
-----------------------------------------
Final chorus - same chords as the others
I am satan (i am satan)
I rule darkness and fight off the day
I am satan (i am satan)
You may wanna run
But I hope you will stay
I am satan
This year's king of the underworld
And there's so much we can do
So let's go to Disneyland together
Then play the intro riff with a nice big C powerchord at the end :)
------------------------------------------
And on the "Burning Organ" version of this track we have a big HEAVY METAL outro!!!

just repeat this till the end with a few varying rhythms of the C#
power-chord chugging at the end,
Have fun playing this killer tune!
