Dm  F   Em   G
[Verse]
The Dmdevil’s in the Fgraveyard 
Emreading Gnames
Of Dmall the ones he Ftripped up 
Emon the Gway

Emwipes his Gtears
DmStaring at the Fwhite rose
Emthat he Gplaced
In fAmront of the grave he Cvisits each day since she Bmslipped Daway
[Instrumental]
Dm  F   Em   G
Dm  F   Em   G

The Dmdevil hides his Fblue eyes
Emin his Ghand
He Dmwipes away the last Ftears
Emas he Gstands
He Dmhears her voice so Fclearly

So he Amtwists off the cap and Ctips his head back for that Bmsweet Drelief

Emas he Gsleeps
He Amsees her bright smile at the Cheavenly gates as he’s Bmturned Daway

[Intro]

Dm F Em G

[Verse]

Dm F

The devil’s in the graveyard

Em G

reading names

Dm F

Of all the ones he tripped up

Em G

on the way

Dm F

He sits down in the moonlight,

Em G

wipes his tears

Dm F

Staring at the white rose

Em G

that he placed

Am C Bm D

In front of the grave he visits each day since she slipped away

[Instrumental]

Dm F Em G

[Verse]

Dm F

The devil hides his blue eyes

Em G

in his hand

Dm F

He wipes away the last tears

Em G

as he stands

Dm F

He hears her voice so clearly

Em G

on the breeze

Dm F

She’s singing like an angel

Em G

to his weakest knees

Am C Bm D

So he twists off the cap and tips his head back for that sweet relief

[Instrumental]

Dm F Em G

[Verse]

Dm F

The devil’s walking slowly

Em G

on the street

Dm F

Towards his empty condo

Em G

where he’ll creep

Dm F

The silence of his bedroom

Em G

before he slips

Dm F

Into his every nightmare

Em G

as he sleeps

Am C Bm D

He sees her bright smile at the heavenly gates as he’s turned away

[Instrumental]

Dm F Em G
