The Deaf is a rock band from Den Haag (The Hague), Netherlands inspired by pretty much
all the old school stuff. I've seen them live a few times, and I like this song a lot! On
youtube I noticed a lot of people asked for tabs/chords/lyrics but nobody was able to
actually figure them out. Therefore I thought I'd give it a shot and I think it worked out
pretty decent.
There's different ways to play it:
- The simplest way, just the way it is. Standard tuning, nothing special.
- The original version, tuned down 1 half step.
- Spike and Janneke's acoustic version, with a capo on the 6th fret.
Enjoy, and don't forget to get laid! ;)

INTRO
Bm (Spike changes between x24432 and x24232, just listen to the song)
VERSE 1
[Bm]I left my body on the floor
You [G]said it was al[D]right
To leave the things be[A]hind so easy
[Bm]All alone and in the dark
My [G]eyes are open [D]wide
Shivers in the [A]night will guide me
CHORUS
[G](I'm coming down that [D]road so [Fm]easi[G]ly)
(I'm coming down that [D]road and [Fm]try to [G]see)
To be [Em]on your side (on your [G]side)
To be[F#m] on [E]your [D]side [A]ag[Bm]ain!
VERSE 2
[Bm]The clock is ticking while you're gone
The [G]time is on your [D]side
Be the one who's [A]there too early
[Bm]Your shadow is creeping on the wall
And [G]memories will [D]fall
Light is going [A]down so slowly
CHORUS
[G](I'm coming down that [D]road so [Fm]easi[G]ly)
(I'm coming down that [D]road and [Fm]try to [G]see)
To be [Em]on your side (on your [G]side)
To be[F#m] on [E]your [D]side [A]ag[Bm]ain!
VERSE 3
[Bm]You shot me down and all again
[G]Fortune fell a[D]part
Absence makes the [A]heart grow fonder
[Bm]All alone and in the dark
My [G]eyes are open [D]wide
Shivers in the [A]night will guide me
CHORUS
[G](I'm coming down that [D]road so [Fm]easi[G]ly)
(I'm coming down that [D]road and [Fm]try to [G]see)
To be [Em]on your side (on your [G]side)
To be[F#m] on [E]your [D]side [A]ag[Bm]ain!
BRIDGE
[G]Bye, bye, lady
[A]Don't say maybe [F#m]tonight[Bm]
[G]Save your sorry
[A]Leave your [F#m]stories be[Bm]hind
[G]And quit the anguish[A]
I'm [F#m]coming home to[Bm]night
POST-BRIDGE
[G]Bye, bye, lady
[A]Don't say maybe [F#m]tonight[Bm]
[G]Save your sorry
[A]Leave your [F#m]stories be[G]hind
FINAL CHORUS
(I'm coming down that [D]road so [F#m]easi[G]ly)
(I'm coming down that [D]road and [F#m]try to [G]see)
To be [Em]on your side (on your [G]side)
To be [Em]on your way (on your [G]way)
To be[F#m] on [E]your [D]side [A]ag[Bm]ain!
To be on your side again!
