Hey everybody. If you're looking at this tab then you're most likely a
Voltaire fan as I am. I kinda got tired of there being no good tabs for any
Voltaire songs, so I decided to make my own. I found out how to play over
half his songs on my own, all by ear! His guitar riffs are very simple. This
is my first tab. Enjoy and rate please!! =]

Makes you wriggle and writhe

And it's so easy when you're evil

Play Verse Here
While there's children to make sad
While there's candy to be had
while there's pockets left to pick
While there's grannies left to trip down the stairs
I'll be there, I'll be waiting 'round the corner
It's a game. I'm glad I'm in it
'Cause there's one born every minute
-------------------------------------------------
Play Chorus Here
And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see

And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need

Em (Dm) Am (Gm)
I pledge my allegiance, to all things dark
Em (Dm) Am (Gm)
And I promise on my damned soul
Em (Dm)
To do as I am told, Lord Beelzebub
Am (Gm) Em (Dm)
Has never seen a soldier quite like me
Am (Gm)
Not only does his job, but does it happily.

Play Verse Here
I'm the fear that keeps you awake
I'm the shadows on the wall
I'm the monsters they become
I'm the nightmare in your skull
I'm a dagger in your back
An extra turn upon the rack
I'm the quivering of your heart
A stabbing pain, a sudden start.

And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see

And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need

It gets so lonely being evil
