The Devil came a-calling, we took a midnight stroll

  A7sus4                                            Em9     
I asked him what he wanted, he said, "your immortal soul"
[Verse 2]
    Em9                                            Em11    
For fifty years I'll spoil you, like the only man alive

     A7sus4                               Em9     
With power, wealth, a mansion on Fellatio Drive
[Verse 3]
    Em9                                        Em11    
The Devil came a-calling, all smiles and flattery

A7sus4                                   Em9     
In his hands a contract, exclusively for me
[Verse 4]
         Em9                                         Em11    
When the fifty years are over, I asked "what happens then?"

      A7sus4                                       Em9      [break]
He pretended not to hear me, but he offered me his pen
[Middle 8]
               Am    Am6                 Am7
He showed me a house, it was as big as a star

Am               Asus4/E                      Am 
  He said to me, Patrick, what d'you think so far
[Verse 5]
    Em9                                        Em11    
The Devil came a-calling, no brimstone fire no rain

   A7sus4                                    Em9     
In fact, I found him charming, articulate, urbane
[Verse 6]
    Em9                                    Em11    
The Devil came a-calling, charisma all the way

 A7sus4                                   Em9      [break]
Imagine being master of all that you'd survey
[Middle 8]
                 Am    Am6                    Am7
He showed me his world, hell, he threw me the keys

Am                 Asus4/E                         Am 
  Introduced me to women - they went down on their knees
[Verse 7]
    Em9                                      Em11    
The Devil came a-calling, we took a midnight stroll

  A7sus4                                            Em9     
I asked him what he wanted, he said, "your immortal soul"
[Verse 8]
Em9                                            Em11    
In his hands were papers, he told me they were signed

   A7sus4                             Em9     
 My memory is hazy, I'm sure that I declined
[Verse 9]
    Em9                                        Em11    
The Devil came a-calling, no brimstone fire no rain

   A7sus4                                    Em9      
In fact, I found him charming, articulate, urbane
[Verse 10]
Em9                                              Em11    
In his hands were papers, he showed me they were signed

   A7sus4                             Em9      
My memory is hazy, I thought that I declined

   A7sus4                            Em9      
My memory is hazy, I'm sure that I declined
