also note: the CD recording is in the key of F#, but I hate using so many barre chords. It hurts the back of my  hand! So, I transcribed it to G.

G

I use to have a nice life.    (the  lick, shown in the intro above, is repeated here and after all other lines.)

And I used to live by the right. But I strayed from the good side of the lord.

D                                                                          G

And I flirted with the devil, and he delt me a card.

chorus

C                                      G

And he told me, that you will never win.

D                                     G

And he told me that I was his best friend.

C                                          G

I had no friend (faith?) to go home to.

D                                                        G

So, I sold my sole to the devil; now  I'm blue.

G

Never thought it could be this bad. Hurtin' like this oh it's killin' me bad.

C                          G

Now I'm stuck in a life of pain.

D                                     G

And I got the devil takin' me away.

Repeat chorus: note: sing "only friend" this time.
