Drop-D tuning but you can play it in normal tuning but my guitar was in drop-d when I started
this song and I was too lazy to re-tune it:)
Here we go, it's fairly easy once you've played it a couple of times.

I know it's not exactly right but this should give you an idea.
Just give it a few more bashes here and there in the palm muted parts.

"Easy As It Was" – 2:39

Originally from Six Songs (1986, vinyl)

Also appears on Eight Songs (1991, vinyl), 10 Songs (1991, CD) and 26 Songs (2003, CD).

Lyrics

Twist, you're holy opposition twist

The twisted parts and pieces, this

I guess you'd better think it God

You knew that, easy as it was.


Come on, give me somethin' special

Somethin' I need

Drain the circle

Lay low, and never prove your power

Say so, so I can hear your words


Peel the skin away from my eyes

And look in.

See all the things that you put away

But you are inside.


Listen to me,

Cuz I can hardly exist

Without your little pussy

Give me holy water

I know that you will let me know.

Aah, Ah-oh-aah, Ah-oh-Aah, Ah-oh...Aah.
