Intro
Em Am B7 Em
verse 1
Em Am
I kissed the Devil; air was cold
B7 Em
He wasn’t young I wasn’t old
Em6 C
I asked him can I stay a day
D B7
He said OK, its fair play
verse 2
Em Am
We burned some candles for the living
B7 Em
Boy tell me, have you been forgiven?
Em6 C
Forgiven? And was it my crime? (he said)
D B7
All I’ve done just sung a rhyme
verse 3
Em Am
I think the old man was too harsh
B7 Em
To send me sorting out his trash
Em6 C
Then I was young and not so wise
D B7
And liked a gamble, roll a dice
verse 4
Em Am
So now I get the blame for all
B7 Em
Who got the pride but lost their souls
Em6 C
It’s their choice to walk this way
D B7
And there’s nothing, nothing I can say
Verse 5
Em Am
And all I want to be myself
B7 Em
I’ve had enough of deathly smell
Em6 C
I want to be free once again
D B7
Leave happily until the end of days
