Mungo Jerry – The Demon (Guitar)

               Am                          D
There's been a whole lot of trouble in the place where I've been

     G                          Am
It's bothered the king and it's upset the queen

    Am                                D
The knaves have been playing with the princesses' maid

    G                                Am
The jester's been running 'round the courtyard again.

D                   F
And I've been cryin', someone's lying

G           C
I'm relying on my mind

D                F
I'm not forgivin', I've stopped living

G                        E
There's a demon and it's gonna be stopped

             Am                  F    G
Because it's got everyone on the run.

    Am                       D
The owls are all hootin' and no one can sleep

    G                                     Am
The shepherds are worrying 'cause they're losin' their sheep

    Am                               D
The soldiers are marching with their steel sticks of war

G                           Am
People are runnin' and they can't take no more

D                   F
And I've been cryin', someone's lying

G           C
I'm relying on my mind

D                F
I'm not forgivin', I've stopped living

G                        E
There's a demon and it's gonna be stopped

             Am                  F    G
Because it's got everyone on the run.

    Am
The icebox is steaming, the oven is cold

    Am
The moon’s turned yellow, the sun's turned to stone

    Am                       D
The windmill's stopped turning, the flowers won't grow

    Am
The taps have stopped running and the clocks have gone slow.

D                   F
And I've been cryin', someone's lying

G           C
I'm relying on my mind

D                F
I'm not forgivin', I've stopped living

G                        E
There's a demon and it's gonna be stopped

             Am                  F    G
Because it's got everyone on the run.

    Am
The icebox is steaming, the oven is cold

    Am
The moon’s turned yellow, the sun's turned to stone

    Am                       D
The windmill's stopped turning, the flowers won't grow

    Am
The taps have stopped running and the clocks have gone slow.

And I've been cryin', someone's lying

G           C
I'm relying on my mind

D                F
I'm not forgivin', I've stopped living
