Verse
F# E
The farmer'd lost most all he had
B D
His crop had failed, his stock went bad
F# E
He cursed his fate, wife and son
B D
Vowed to sell his soul for dollar one
F# E B D
[Verse 2]
F# E
In disbelief he'd uttered such words
B D
He'd hoped and prayed that no one had heard
F# E
With the smell of sulfur and a flash of light
B D
Appeared a demon in the dead of night
F# E B D
[Verse 3]
G D A E
The plan was for the farmer to sign
G D A E
His name in blood upon the line
G D A
They'd meet again to seal the sign
G D A F# E
In eighteen forty, in seven year's time
B D
Time!
[Chorus 1]
F# E
The farmer prospered, did do well
B D
Good fortune was his story to tell
F# E
Still he pursued the path he feared
B D
The time was short, the dark day neared
[Verse 4]
F# E
The seven years had passed away
B D
Now it was the judgement day
F# E
In memory of the words he said
B D
Lucifer appear in a flash of red
D
[Chorus 2]
G D A E
It's the day I said I'd come for you
G D A E
And now it's time to pay your due
G D A
I'm here to claim the soul I've won
G D F# E
To seal the bargain and take your son!
B D
