[Verse 1] Dm
Dm
The devil went down to the river

       G       F        Am      G
And he came to fall; to lose it all;

    C       Am       G    F   Dm
To fool the fool too quick to call

          Dm
While the gambler's stacks grew bigger;

       G        F              Am      G
He had lost his sights through narrowed eyes;

        C   Am     G   F Dm
Too tempted by his wry desires
[Chorus 1]
Gm      F     Am    G
Damned across fated paths

    Gm      F        Am       G   Dm
The time to fold had come to pass
Dm [Verse 2]
     Dm
With gambler's glory delivered

       G          F       Am     G
He had thirst for more; a bigger score;

  C      Am     G     F Dm
A trophy no one could ignore

        Dm
And the devil's wealth had withered

        G       F        Am      G        C
So with cunning class he offered fast his soul;

    Am    G   F    Dm
The wager had been cast
[Chorus 2]
    Gm      F           Am    G
The gambler called, the river fell

    Gm      F         Am     G    Dm
And now the hand from out of hell

    Gm     F             Am     G
The devil smiled, looked in his eyes;

   Gm       F        Am   G   Dm
He knew the loss was glorified
[Bridge] F Dm Bb7 Dm F Dm Bb7 Dm [Verse 3]
Dm                F
  The devil said "Revel in your victory;

                                                   Dm
You've earned your damning, pack your things and leave."

         Bb
But, the gambler only stood and stuttered

                                Dm
Stammering on words in disbelief

 F
"Now you've won a new vocation

                                   Dm
Pray to me that you can stand the heat!"

    Bb
And that, the gambler saw

                                                Dm
Meant he had gone and finally set the devil free
[Chorus 3]
Gm      F     Am    G
Damned across fated paths

    Gm      F           Am      G
The hand he played would be his last
[Who Am I?]
       Gm D Gm D
Who am I?

       Bb Am D
Who am I?

       Cm               D                        Gm D Gm
Just a gambler, holding aces in the devil's eyes?

            Gm D Gm D
What is wrong?

           Bb Am D
What's the sin?

D    Dbm      Cm     Cm/G       D       D/A     Gm D Gm
  Where's the answer? Where the hell do I fit in?

            Cm                              Gm
Or could it be, there's just a little demon lost in the debris

    Ab                                  D
And I, should idly bide my time until a wager releases me?

Eb D
     Hey!

Gm            D     Eb
  It can't remain unknown...
Eb D
