Am G F Em
Well ill take two shots said the devil to the man, and laid a little book on the bar
Am G F Em
The lord knows the devil he only talks shit and only drinks whisky from the jar
Dm Am Em Am
And his hands were raw, and his eyes were cold
Dm Am Em
And his breath was pure alcohol and the sound of his voice never got old
Dm Am Em Am
And he talked and he talked and he talked through the night
Dm Am Em Am
Just sippin his shine until the morning light
Dm Am Em Am
Stumbled in through the shades and as he started to go
F Em Am
I put three bullets in his back

- Verse - The (C) chords are optional, its a preference thing

Am G F
Well the devil's bleeding crude oil from a hole in his chest.
Am G F
It keeps pangin on the bed pan, leaking through the bed sheets.
Am (C) Dm
And all the buisnessmen are putting pails benith his wounds.
Em F
Pawnin the oil at the market.

Am G F
Well his heart aint made of nothin but piss and vinegar
Am G F
And his boots have trampled more than you would know and,
Am (C) Dm
His breath has split open the thermometer on the sill
Em F
Its so fucking cold in here, since you brought in the snow.


- Chorus -

Am G F Em
Black heart leaking oil in the pan
Am G F
Dealing insults with his free hand in the hospital bed bleeding
Am G F Em
Black heart you shot the plan to hell
Am G F
And the apathy eats you up inside.


******************************************************************
Alternate chorus - heres a different way to play the chorus
I think both sound good.

Am Cmaj13 D9 Dm9
Black heart leaking oil in the pan
Am Cmaj13 D9 Dm9
Dealing insults with his free hand in the hospital bed bleeding
Am Cmaj13 D9 Dm9
Black heart you shot the plan to hell
Am Cmaj13 D9 Dm9
And the apathy eats you up inside.
******************************************************************

Instrumental part:

Am G F Em
Am G F Em

Adding some fill to this part sounds good
I do something like this:

Going from G to F:

2:26

e|---------|
B|-3--1--1-|
G|-0-----2-|
D|-0-----3-|
A|-2-----3-|
E|-3-----1-|

and when you're on Em just about to return to Am:

2:32

e|--------1-0-----|
B|------0-----0-1-|
G|-0--0---------2-|
D|-2--2---------2-|
A|-2--2---------0-|
E|-0--0-----------|


Chorus
Instrumental Part - End on Am

4:06

Outro

Am Cmaj13 D9 Dm9
Someone say a hail Mary for this house.

Bless the corners and burn the devil out.

Organ outro can be played:
