Pact With Lucifer

    E                         D
The farmer'd lost most all he had
    A                               C
His crop had failed, his stock went bad
   E                         D
He cursed his fate, wife and son
A                          C
Vowed to sell his soul for dollar one

E D A C

[Verse 2]

   E                           D
In disbelief he'd uttered such words
     A                                C
He'd hoped and prayed that no one had heard
         E                              D
With the smell of sulfur and a flash of light
A                       C
Appeared a demon in the dead of night

E D A C

[Verse 3]

F            C       G         D
The plan was for the farmer to sign
F           C     G        D
His name in blood upon the line
F           C        G
They'd meet again to seal the sign
   F        C         G            E      D
In eighteen forty, in seven year's time
A  C
Time!

[Chorus 1]

    E                        D
The farmer prospered, did do well
     A                        C
Good fortune was his story to tell
      E                      D
Still he pursued the path he feared
    A                            C
The time was short, the dark day neared

[Verse 4]

    E                      D
The seven years had passed away
A                        C
Now it was the judgement day
   E                      D
In memory of the words he said
A                   C
Lucifer appear in a flash of red

C

[Chorus 2]

F        C              G        D
It's the day I said I'd come for you
F            C       G        D
And now it's time to pay your due
F           C         G
I'm here to claim the soul I've won
F           C                     E     D
To seal the bargain and take your son!
