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.

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

    Em(add9)                                   Em7sus4
The Devil came a-calling, no brimstone fire or rain.
