[Verso 1]
 
D 
While you're strolling down the fairway 
G            D 
Showing no remorse 
D 
Glowing from the poisons 
         G        G/F#       Em    A 
They've sprayed on your golf course 
D                          D7 
While you're busy sinking birdies 
    Bm                 Gm 
And keeping your scorecard 
    F            C       G         D 
The devil's been busy in your backyard 


[Verso 2]

D 
Steaming down the highway 
          G                D 
With your trucks of toxic waste 
D 
Where you gonna hide it 
G     G/F#   Em   A 
Maybe outer space? 
D                          D7 
You don't know what you're doing 
   G                Gm 
Or what you have to guard 
    F            C       G    D 
The devil's been busy in your backyard 


[Refrão]
 
A 
Sometimes you think you're crazy 
        D 
But you know you're only mad 
    Bm 
Sometimes you're better off not knowing 
         A 
How much you've been had 


[Verso 3]

D 
You see your second cousin 
G           D 
Wasted in a fight 
D 
You say he had it coming 
   G        G/F#  Em   A 
He couldn't do it right 
D                   D7 
You're in a western movie 
G           Gm 
Playing the part 
    F            C      G      D 
The devil's been busy in your backyard 

Solo:D G D G D Em A Bm A# F C G D 


[Refrão]

A 
Sometimes they say you're wicked 
        D 
But you know that can't be bad 
    Bm 
Sometimes you're better off not knowing 
                    A 
It'll only make you sad 


[Verso 4]
 
D 
They're coming down Picadilly 
G                D 
Dripping at the dash 
D 
Wasting sticky willy 
G            G/F#       Em  A 
Covering him with their cash 
     D                    D7 
They just might not have noticed 
             G               Gm 
They've been beating him so hard 
         F           C       G          D 
And the devil's been busy in your back yard 
F             C       G        D 
Devil's been busy in your back yard 
F             C      G         D 
Devil's been busy in your back yard
