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

[Verse 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse4]
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
