[Am]The devil ain't a legend, the devil's real

[Am]in the empty way he touched me where i hardly feel

[Dm]in the empty hole inside me, where nothing ever ride me

[Am]down into my grave that does not heal

bridge

[E]and nothing is a something, it'll suck you dry.

[Am]as a whisper you can hardly hear that tells you why

riff?

[Am]They told me you ain't got no problems, you self-deceived

[Am]these seeming contradictions, they're make believe

[Dm]it was then that I decided, my life was being guided

[Am]by a second rate dependence on a first class phase

bridge

[E]They told me I was breaking through, but I was breaking down

[Am]by the time I heard the difference they had [E]long left town

riff?

[Am]You know they're so malicious, they're mean

[Am]they so vaguely well-intentioned with no love I've seen

[Dm]and it's the emptiness that'll kill you, cold comfort that'll fill you

[Am]with a sense of dread making things worse than they seem

bridge

[E]They don't tell you nothing, you don't already know

[Am]they just keep holding out the promise but they [E]don't let go

riff?

[Am]well it was hard luck and trouble, bad times too

[Am]I know i had 'em coming, but I got through

[Dm]it was advise that you gave me in a dream, that saved me

[Am]you said "get a new life contract that spells out your dues"

bridge

[E]too good will define it, a clear conscience to sign it

[Am]now I dream 'bout the good times and it all [E]comes true

solo?

#Tabbed by:talesofthelost

#
#Tuning: capo 2 (normal tuning)
#
#There is a distinct lack of chris smithers tabs on the net.  here is my version of The
#Real.  I cant do the finger picking he does, so i strum the chords, which are Am, Dm, E
#think).  Also for the riffs and solo i make that up, so i don't tab it here.  the
#intro is as close as i could get to the record.
#
#hint:  if you do fingerpick this song, then always chris is hitting the A string bass note.
#
#notes and chords relative to capo.  basically the key of the song is Bm, but with the
#on on the second fret it is Am as it makes it easy to repeatedly hit that A string.
#
#anyway, hope this helps, and feel free to play around with the song, cos this was the
#i could do.
