I’m not sure if this is exact, but it sounds damn good and it’s a hella fun to 
play. I’m sure the lyrics are right. The intro is in the same chord progression 
as the rest of the song (G, Bb, A, F), only the chords are picked not strummed. 
The order in which the strings are picked is pretty easy to figure out. (e-mail 
me if you want me to tab it) The first couple of seconds of the song are just 
Everlast singing with an acoustic. Then the beats and an electric guitar bust 
in. If you’re tryin to sing like him, keep a glass of water handy cuz it’s hard 
on the vocal chords. Have Fun.

singin' na na nana na na 

*That’s the basic idea, the rest is pretty much the same* 


They call me white sinner, 
Black martyr, 
Live wire 
Fire starter, 
Jungle brother, 
Red neck cracker, 
Freak of nature 
New world slacker, 
Sex junkie lookin' for a dealer 
You can play the leaper girl and I can play the healer 
Shit is only getting realer baby haven't you heard that the 
Bird, bird, bird, yes the bird is the word 

They go one for the trouble, 
Two for the time, 
Three for my homies 
And four for the dimes, 
Singin' lemons to the lime 
Till the break of dawn 
Excuse me (every six minutes) 
Everlast you're on, 
And they go on and on 
Like a rolling stone, 
Baby anywhere I lay my hat is my home 

CHORUS 

They call me white devil, Black Jesus, 
Heaven closes, Hell freezes, 
Black Jesus, White Moses, 
Heaven freezes, Hell closes, 
Singin' na na nana na na singing 
(Repeat)
