    Em(add9)                                 Em7sus4 
The Devil came a-calling, we took a midnight stroll 
  A7sus4                                            Em(add9) 
I asked him what he wanted, he said, ’Your immortal soul.’ 

    Em(add9)                                       Em7sus4 
For fifty years I’ll spoil you, like the only man alive 
     A7sus4                               Em(add9) 
With power, wealth, a mansion on Fellatio Drive.’ 

    Em(add9)                                   Em7sus4 
The Devil came a-calling, all smiles and flattery 
A7sus4                                   Em(add9) 
In his hands a contract, exclusively for me. 

         Em(add9)                                   Em7sus4 
When the fifty years are over, I asked what happens then. 
      A7sus4                                       Em(add9) break 
He pretended not to hear me, but he offered me his pen. 

               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?’ 

    Em(add9)                                   Em7sus4 
The Devil came a-calling, no brimstone fire or rain. 
   A7sus4                                    Em(add9) 
In fact, I found him charming, articulate, urbane. 

    Em(add9)                               Em7sus4 
The Devil came a-calling, charisma all the way. 
 A7sus4                                   Em(add9) break 
Imagine being master of all that you’d survey 

                 Am    Am6                    Am7 
He showed me his world, hell, he threw me the keys, 
Am*                Asus4/E                        Am* 
  Introduced me to women, they were down on their knees.

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

Em(add9)                                       Em7sus4 
In his hands were papers, he told me they were signed. 
   A7sus4                            Em(add9) 
 My memory is hazy, I’m sure that I declined.
