\__ = lick _____/
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 GAnd I flirted with the devil, and he delt me a card.
chorusC G
And he told me, that you will never win.
D GAnd he told me that I was his best friend.
I had no friend (faith?) to go home to.
D GSo, I sold my sole to the devil; now I'm blue.
