Verse
B A
The farmer'd lost most all he had
E G
His crop had failed, his stock went bad
B A
He cursed his fate, wife and son
E G
Vowed to sell his soul for dollar one
B A E G
[Verse 2]
B A
In disbelief he'd uttered such words
E G
He'd hoped and prayed that no one had heard
B A
With the smell of sulfur and a flash of light
E G
Appeared a demon in the dead of night
B A E 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 B A
In eighteen forty, in seven year's time
E G
Time!
[Chorus 1]
B A
The farmer prospered, did do well
E G
Good fortune was his story to tell
B A
Still he pursued the path he feared
E G
The time was short, the dark day neared
[Verse 4]
B A
The seven years had passed away
E G
Now it was the judgement day
B A
In memory of the words he said
E 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 B A
To seal the bargain and take your son!
E G
[Outro]
