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]
A# F C G
The plan was for the farmer to sign
A# F C G
His name in blood upon the line
A# F C
They'd meet again to seal the sign
A# 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]
A# F C G
It's the day I said I'd come for you
A# F C G
And now it's time to pay your due
A# F C
I'm here to claim the soul I've won
A# F A G
To seal the bargain and take your son!
D F
