E7 G
Well I went down to the crossroads
A7 E7
I caught the devil by his name
E7 G
And he showed up and took my hand
A7 E7
saying boy you'll never be the same
E7 G
Before we go you better know
A7 E7
there'll be hell to pay
E7 G
I said I don't give a damn
A E7
So let's be on our way
E7 G
And he spun me around
A7
Before ooooh yeah
G A7 G E7
My feet left the ground
Now when I had my fun and the day was done I had demons swarming round my head
I said devil you ain't said a word about these awful things I dread
He said boy I'm the father of lies, believe that much to be true
You signed a deal with the devil, now your days are numbered through and through
E7 G
He spun me around
A7
Before I knew it
G A7 G E7
My feet left the ground
E7 G
He spun me around
A7
Before I knew it
G A7 G E7
My feet left the ground
