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