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