|     G|     G|     G|     C|
[Verse 1]
GDancy was a deacon, every Sunday found him tEm7here
 GAt the Lighthouse Gospel Church with his hands folded in pEm7rayer
And Cstandin' right beside him was his pretty hometown bAm7ride
But Gno one could have guessed what he was prayin' deep insEm7ide
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
GDancy has a demon livin' somewhere in his pEm7ast
A Gdark haired cajun angel was the devil dressed in bEm7lack
CWas it really voodoo, or just weakness in the mAm7an?
The Gonly time he ever felt was when she took his hand
[Pre-chorus]
Oh, it's been C6so Clong, but it's still C6so Cstrong
[Chorus]
EmEvery night the Ddevil comes and Cwalks through Dancy's dream
She Emtakes him by the Dhand and leads him Cback to New Orleans
The Am7good man's goin' cG/Brazy soCmewhere in between
The Chymns on Sunday Gmorning
And the Am7sins in G/BDancy's Cdreams
[Interlude]
|     G|     G|     G|     C|
|     G|     G|     G|     C|
[Verse 3]
  GSometimes it's almost like he was never even tEm7here
But Gother times, he swears he smells the flowers in her hEm7air
He Cnever told the secret: no one would undersAm7tand
GShe's the only one who's seen the dark side of that man
[Pre-chorus]
Oh, it's been C6so Clong, but it's still C6so Cstrong
[Chorus]
EmEvery night the Ddevil comes and Cwalks through Dancy's dream
She Emtakes him by the Dhand and leads him Cback to New Orleans
The Am7good man's goin' cG/Brazy soCmewhere in between
The Chymns on Sunday Gmorning
And the Am7sins in G/BDancy's Cdreams
