Here's "Devil Inside" by INXS. It's difficult to show timing so I tried to
break it into measures where I could.
s = slide
p = pulloff
h = hammeron
r = release
Riff A

G |----------|-----------|----------|---------|
D |----------|-------1p0-|----------|---------|
A |3-3-----1-|3-1-3------|3-3-----1-|-3-1-3---|

in first two measures next two last one

| "Words As Weapons, Sharper Than Knives". I've always loved that lyric. More good stuff from INXS. I've always thought the lyric "...how the other half..." made referrence to the old expression about the Other Half, which is to say how other folks live (or die). 1 | |

| I think this song is about having a devil inside. Like everybody always has a wild side to them. When he is saying "Every single one of us the devil inside." I also love the guitar in this song. Like the main sound that everybody knows in this song, that comes out in the beginning and the ending of the song. It's just so awsome, I always listen to this song. | |

| I always assumed it meant that some people embraced their devil, but the other half (hypocrites) didn't. Anyone else? | |
