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