BLACK SABBATH

GOD IS DEAD

HALF-STEP DOWN TUNING



🤘 Verse:
Em
Lost in the darkness
Em
I fade from the light
Em
Faith of my father, my brother, my Maker and Savior
Em
Help me make it through the night
Em
Blood on my conscious
Em
And murder in mind
Em
Out of the gloom I rise up from my tomb into impending doom
Em
Now my body is my shrine

C                      B7
The blood runs free, the rain turns red
                           Em riff
Give me the wine, you keep the bread

C         B7
The voices echo in my head
                    Em riff
Is God alive or is God dead?
Em riff
Is God dead?

Em
Rivers of evil
Em
Run through dying land
Em
Swimming in sorrow, they kill, steal, and borrow, there is no tomorrow
Em
For the sinners will be damned
Em
Ashes to ashes
Em
You cannot exhume a soul
Em
Who do you trust when corruption and lust, creed of all the unjust
Em
Leaves you empty and unwhole?

C              B7
When will this nightmare be over? Tell me
C       B7
When can I empty my head?
C             B7
Will someone tell me the answer?
Em
Is God really dead?
Em
Is God really dead?

Em
To safeguard my philosophy
Em
Until my dying breath
Em
I transfer from reality
Em
Into a mental death
Em
I empathize with enemies
Em
Until the timing's right
Em
With God and Satan at my side
Em
From darkness will come light

C               B7
I watch the rain as it turns red
                            Em riff
Give me more wine, I don't need bread
C               B7
These riddles that live in my head
                        Em riff
I don't believe that God is dead
Em riff
God is dead

Em
Nowhere to run
Em
Nowhere to hide
Em
Wondering if we will meet again on the other side
Em
Do you believe a word
Em
What the Good Book said?
Em
Or is it just a holy fairytale and God is dead?
Em
God is dead
Em
God is dead
Em
God is dead
Em
God is dead

Right

C              B7
But still the voices in my head
                       Em riff
Are telling me that God is dead
C                       B7
The blood pours down, the rain turns red
Em riff
I don't believe that God is dead
Em
God is dead
Em
God is dead
Em
God is dead
