  			Intro: D  Bm  (x2) 

Verse: 1 
D                        Bm 
Four on the floor with a half-time break 
      D                Bm 
Eight bars then a turnaround 
D                       Bm 
Hit the high hat like a low hat 
     A 
Open up a wall of sound 
D                   Bm 
Heavy gauge and the nickel wound sings 
        D                Bm 
And the stellar magnetic rings 
D                    Bm 
Chords for power and drag control found 
    A 
All running when you hit the ground 


        G 
And the devil may care

D                          Bm 
Clean with the dirty tube, breakup-style 
      D               Bm 
Class-A discrete awakening 
D                  Bm 
Dynamic rhythm and high gain beliefs 
      A 
Daily Mardi Gras is just beginning 
   D              Bm 
No artifacts just melody rings 
       D                    Bm 
Compression drivers pushing air 
D                 Bm 
Phantom power and faders up 
        A 
Keeping time, keeping sane 


        G 
And the devil may care

Verse: 3 
D            Bm 
 Harmonic fidelity boost 
          D                    Bm 
High-pass filter on a balanced line 
     D                Bm 
Or a cigarette on the headstock 
        A 
All the same, just make it rhyme

When the devil comes around
