       "This is good"
[Bridge]
        Am           C6                C/E
But the devil he was jealous, took the apple in his hand

    D9                      E7
The devil tempted woman and woman tempted man

Am                      C/E                   C
God, he mourned and the tears rolled down his face

   D9                         E                  E7
It broke his heart to see his children fall from grace

           Am           E7
And on the 7th day they say, "God rested"

Dm7                           E7
    You know,  that ain't the truth

              Dm7      Em7* E7* Am       Eaug     C/E      D

Am       Eaug                 C/E                   D7*
    Everybody gets the blues,      everybody got to pay

Dm                          E7
   For the wicked things we do

Dm                            E7
   And what we put each other through

           Dm7          E7
And on the 7th day they say, "God rested"
