This song is a 12-bar blues pattern in key of D


Intro: Bass plays riffs in D


          D
Well, the devil came to my house, knocked on my door
  D
I said, "Oh my, I know that I have heard this voice before"
   G
He said, "You're quite a talent, the makings of a star,
    D
And with a little help from me, you really can go far
     A
I'll tell you what I've told the rest, the rules remain the same;
      D
Don't glorify, support, or ever mention Jesus' name"...



[Enter electric guitar, in drop-D tuning]

                D
..."Now you can do something that's positive, but just don't misbehave
     D
Like use your notoriety and get somebody saved
    G
And don't you be so vocal about the truth, you know
    D
The Bible's bad for business, leave your faith at home
     A
I'll give you wealth and fame, far as the eye can see
D
Live the way you want, but your career belongs to me"


        D
Then he smiled a crooked smile and winked an evil eye
   D
He said, "Well whatcha think my man?" and this was my reply


             D
"I have been bought with a price when Jesus hung on a tree
   D
My life is not my own, I'll never follow your lead
    G
You build up all the pleasure of sin in people's eyes
    D
But never tell the consequences of the compromise
    A
You used to have my number, but this time you will fail
    D
So, get thee behind me Satan, I'm not for sale"


[continue playing D]
