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
