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