There was (A) once a time when I was dead in(E7)side

And prayed to the Devil to (A) die
Just when I thought the Devil had won
Someone (A7) opened up the (D) door
The King of (E7) kings
The Lord of lords

Now, (D) he broke the chains that bound me and now I'm (A) free
Today I'm right where mama prayed I'd (E) be
