Chords

This chord sheet/tab is meant to help the person who has played this song for ages but now needs to sing lyrics they've ignored for years, or for the keyboardist who hates translating guitar tabs into chords. I had to put this together for my band and perhaps others might find it helpful! Riff chords - | D7#9 | D7#9 F5 G5| [Verse 1]
A
Down with disease, three weeks in my bed

A
Trying to stop these demons that keep dancing in my head
Riff x2
A
Down with disease, up before the dawn

A
A thousand barefoot children outside dancing on my lawn

| D7#9     | D7#9  F5 G5| D7#9     | D7      C#7   C7      |
                                     Dancing on my lawn
[Chorus]
A                           G             D
  Waiting for the time when I can finally say

     G                 D             G             C
That this has all been wonderful but now I'm on my way

A                           G            D
  When I think it's time to leave it all behind

G                D               G             C
 I try to find a way but there's nothing I can say to make it stop

A                    G         D
     Stop stop stop, stop stop stop stop

A                    G         D
Stop stop stop stop, stop stop stop
Riff x2 [Verse 2]
A
Down with disease and the jungles in my mind

A
They're climbing up my waterfalls and swingin' on my vines
Riff x2
A
So I try to hear the music but I'm always losing time

A
'Cause they're stepping on my rhythm and they're stealin' all my lines

| D7#9     | D7#9  F5 G5| D7#9     | D7       C#7    C7     |
                                     Stealin’ all my lines
[Chorus]
A                           G             D
  Waiting for the time when I can finally say

     G                 D             G             C
That this has all been wonderful but now I'm on my way

A                           G            D
  When I think it's time to leave it all behind

G                D               G             C
 I try to find a way but there's nothing I can say to make it stop

A                    G         D
     Stop stop stop, stop stop stop stop

A                    G         D
Stop stop stop stop, stop stop stop
