Riff 1 x4
 
[Verse 1]
          Riff 1                     Riff 1
Very superstitious, writing's on the wall
          Riff 1                     Riff 1
Very superstitious, ladders 'bout to fall
                   Riff 1                  Riff 1
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass
               Riff 1                            Riff 1
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past
            B7         C7            B7          Bb7
When you believe in things that you don't understand
           A7  B7 N.C.                  Riff 1 x2
Then you suffer, superstition ain't the way
 
[Verse 2]
          Riff 1                       Riff 1
Very superstitious, wash your face and hands
              Riff 1                   Riff 1
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can
             Riff 1                  Riff 1
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong
                Riff 1             Riff 1
You don't wanna save me, sad is my song
            B7         C7            B7          Bb7
When you believe in things that you don't understand
          A7   B7 N.C.                  Riff 1 x2
Then you suffer, superstition ain't the way
 
[Instrumental]
B7  C7  B7  Bb7  A7    B7     Riff 1 x2
              Ahhhhhhhhhhh
 
[Verse 3]
           Riff 1                   Riff 1
Very superstitious, nothin' more to say
           Riff 1                      Riff 1
Very superstitious, the devil's on his way
                   Riff 1                  Riff 1
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass
               Riff 1                        Riff 1
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past
            B7         C7            B7          Bb7
When you believe in things that you don't understand
          A7   B7 N.C.                  Riff 1         Riff 1
Then you suffer, superstition ain't the way,     no no no

Hey! May I add: After the drum intro, half a bar or so before the main riff starts, the guitar comes in with: E|-----------------------| B|-----------------------| G|-----------------------| D|-----------------------| A|-----------------5--7--| E|---~-~-~-~---5h7-------| ... and then straight onto riff 1 Correct me if I am wrong :) Thanks!!
