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