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