The Devil

[Verse]
    Dm             F
The devil’s in the graveyard
Em      G
reading names

   Dm              F
Of all the ones he tripped up
Em     G
on the way

   Dm               F
He sits down in the moonlight,
Em        G
wipes his tears

Dm             F
Staring at the white rose
Em      G
that he placed

    Am                   C                         Bm      D
In front of the grave he visits each day since she slipped away

[Verse]
    Dm              F
The devil hides his blue eyes
Em     G
in his hand

   Dm                  F
He wipes away the last tears
Em    G
as he stands

   Dm                 F
He hears her voice so clearly
Em     G
on the breeze

      Dm              F
She’s singing like an angel
Em             G
to his weakest knees

      Am                     C                           Bm    D
So he twists off the cap and tips his head back for that sweet relief

[Verse]
    Dm              F
The devil’s walking slowly
Em     G
on the street

  Dm              F
Towards his empty condo
Em          G
where he’ll creep

    Dm             F
The silence of his bedroom
Em        G
before he slips

Dm                  F
Into his every nightmare
Em    G
as he sleeps

   Am                           C                      Bm     D
He sees her bright smile at the heavenly gates as he’s turned away
