D
The devil's been busy in your back yard
Steaming down the highway
With your trucks of toxic waste
Where you gonna hide it?
Maybe outer space?
You don't know what you're doing
Or what you have to guard
The devil's been busy in your back yard
A
Sometimes you think you're crazy
D
But you know you're only mad
Bm
Sometimes your better off not knowing
A
How much you've been had
You see your second cousin
Wasted in a fight
You say he had it coming
You couldn't do it right
You're in a western movie
Bm
Eb(7)
Playing a lil' part
The devil's been busy in your back yard
Sometimes they say you're wicked
But you know that can't be bad
Sometimes you're better off not knowing
It'll only make you sad
They're coming down Piccadilly
Dripping at the dosh
Arresting Sticky Willy
Clubbing him with their cosh
They just might not have noticed
Bm
Gm
They've been beating him so hard
F
C
G
D
The devil's been busy in your back yard
The devil's been busy in your back yard
The devil's been busy in your back yard

A
When I woke up this morning the place was such a wreck
A
I couldn't reach the bathroom thought I'd better clear the deck
D
I tried to call the lawyer and ask him what to do
A
He referred me to his doctor who referred me back to you
E
D
And when you checked the manual you kept inside the case

It said put it in a cool dry place
I drove around the city looking for a room
That was high above the water where my things could be in tune
There was no one to help me nobody even cared
I had to go through hell to get those things up there
I paid my first subscription then I joined the idle race
And they said store it in a cool dry place
D
I got guitars, basses, amplifiers and drums
A
Accordions and mandolins and things that sometimes hum
D
Cymbals and harmonicas, capos by the score
F
E
And lots of things in boxes laying all around the floor
Some places they get mildew and others get too hot
Some places are so damp that everything you got just rots
All kinds of condensation, direct result of rain
There's not much compensation when everything's been stained
Some have sentimental value that cannot be erased
Go store it in a cool dry place
We got solids and acoustics and some with flowered boards
And some are trimmed in leather and some are made with gourds
There's organs and trombones and reverbs we can use
Lots of DX-7s and old athletic shoes
I bought a great big building, it took up one whole block
I made an inventory of all the things in stock
The list was getting longer, I was up all night
I used up all my pencils but I went in spite
E
D
The blurry of my vision, the sweat upon my face
E
D
I've got to put this stuff away, I mustn't leave a trace
E
D
The landlord's breathing down my neck, he says it's a disgrace
