Chords for 10 Unforgettable Ronnie James Dio Moments

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Where is the spark?
_ Is it far?
Far?
Far?
[B] _ _ _
When do we leave?
_ I believe, oh, I believe
_ [D] I would always see [Bb] my grandmother when I was a little kid, [D] you know, her holding my hand and walking down the street.
[Eb] She would see someone [N] and go, _ _ what's that?
And eventually learned that it was called the Moloik.
And the Moloik was, someone's giving us the evil eye, so she's giving protection [Eb] against the evil eye.
[B] Or you can give someone the evil [Db] eye too.
I'm lucky enough to [B] have kind of, just have done it [Eb] so much, it's been more equated with me than anyone else.
Although Gene Simmons will tell you that he invented it, but then again, Gene invented breathing and shoes [N] and everything, you know.
My belief in heaven and hell is heaven and hell is right here.
This is where we are.
This is heaven, this is hell.
You make your own heaven, you make your own hell.
Hell, good and evil, God, the devil reside in each one of us.
I don't have to go to a place to pray.
I can pray inside myself.
I can pray to whomever I want to inside myself and get the same results.
I don't need to be told by a priest that I'm bad, or to be told by a nun that I'm not learning my project properly and get smacked on the head with a ruler.
Who the hell are you to do that to me?
Or to be told that here's God and God is a guy who's been nailed upon a piece of wood.
It's not the way I want to think of life.
I don't think of it that way.
And with all the religions that they are, preaching all the same things, it's really one great big homogenized thing anyway.
At the end of the day, if we all just believe in the same thing, you know, that we've got a choice between good and evil,
hey, make your [Eb] choice.
That's all it's about to me.
The depths of the hell, [Db] and across the sea [Eb] of life, _ _ [Db]
again and again [E] _ _ [B] _ [Eb] and again, _ _ _ _ neon light.
MTB killed heavy [Db] metal music.
Suddenly had [Ab] the hair bands coming out.
[Gb] It was only about what they looked like [Ab] and how many parties they could have and how many 14 year old girls they could pull after [Db] the show.
I mean, the [Eb] music was rubbish.
And they destroyed [Gb] what the rest of us created, because everyone got lumped in [Db] together with it.
There should be an emblem somewhere, you know.
Poison killed everything.
Honestly, those kind of bands did do that, I think.
These things that come out [D] and, you know, wear makeup and, you know.
What's that all about?
That's not metal.
It [Bb] was probably, oh, I don't know, midnight. _ _
And I [E] happened to look out the window.
And I said, _ the moon looks awfully big.
I said, Wendy, that wasn't out there a minute ago, that moon.
She looked and said, oh, it must have been.
So I looked a few minutes later and it was bigger.
And it was bigger and bigger and coming closer and closer and closer and closer.
I thought, oh my God, this is it.
The big one.
I was so excited.
As it got closer, we saw a car coming.
Where we lived was kind of in a foresty area.
Saw one lone car coming down a hill.
And as this car was coming down, it was just about to intersect this light.
And I thought, he's going to take this car away.
This car is now going to shoot up into this, whatever this thing may be.
And I was, you know, with bated breath.
And the car got to the intersection point and suddenly it went out.
But it didn't go out as though you would take a flame, blow the flame out, where there's an afterglow.
It was as if someone had taken a black curtain and gone.
[Abm] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[E] _ _ [B] _ _ [Dbm] _ _ [Abm] _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ I'm only [E] there to [Dbm] do you harm.
Don't ride [B] in starlight, [E] cause the words may come out [Abm] real.
_ [Ab] _ Don't hide in [E] doorways, you [B] may find the key that [Ab] opens up your soul.
Don't [A] go to heaven, [E] cause it's [Gb] really only hell.
_ [Db] I think it's [A] time to do a Gene Simmons.
Cause I understood that [E] Gene had found out that OJ, is that orange juice?
Had never been [F] patented before, so he patented it.
So every time anyone [Bb] mentions OJ, not only about OJ Simpson, but orange juice, he gets some money from it.
Which seems so Gene-ish to [Em] me.
Cause he's so brilliant at that, he's just absolutely brilliant.
[A] They needed someone, I guess with a figurehead of my strength to do it, so they asked me to do it.
And I said, no, I don't want to do it, I have something else to do.
And I [Bb] eventually had to because they did [Eb] need someone stronger at the [Bb] helm.
So I said, [Ab] alright, I'll do it.
Moan, moan, [C] moan, as we all do.
Then discovered that I was a real idiot for not wanting to take part in it [Eb] in the first place.
And did, and then became completely caught up in [N] all of it, which I am now.
But the important thing is that none of us are looking for pats on the back.
[Bb] We're only looking to help those people who need the help.
[G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] Oh, yeah. _ _ _ _
