Been down that very road before
Em G C
Round bout midnight I walked that away
Em B7 Em
Lookin to settle a score
[Verso 3]
Em B7 Em
As I was walkin I looked up to the sky
Em B7
The full moon was shinin oh so bright
Em G C
The bottle of whisky in my hand was empty
Em B7 Em
When a stranger appeared from the night
[Verso 4]
Em B7 Em
Reach out and take hold of my hand, son he said
Em B7
"I've helped so many people reach their goals"
Em G C
I'll guide your knife into the man who stole your woman
Em B7 Em
If you'll just give to me your soul"
[Verso 5]
Em B7 Em
I shook upon the deal, and my mind did fade to black
Em B7
When I awoke I let out quite a wail
Em G C
A bloody knife was in my hand, his body on the floor
Em B7 Em
And they drug me off to jail
[Verso 6]
Em B7 Em
That was seven years ago almost to the day
Em B7
And I'll work on this here chain gang till I die
Em G C
So I warn you folk, don't do the things I done
Em B7 Em
If you wanna make it to the by-and-by
Em G C
When I'm dead I'll join the devil since I shook his evil hand
Em B7 Em
And I'll never make it to the by-and-by
