E7                           G  
Well I went down to the crossroads  
  A7                      E7  
I caught the devil by his name  
        E7                  G  
And he showed up and took my hand  
          A7             E7  
saying boy you'll never be the same 

    E7                G  
Before we go you better know 
A7           E7  
there'll be hell to pay 
E7                    G  
I said I don't give a damn  
     A             E7  
So let's be on our way  

      E7      G  
And he spun me around  
             A7  
Before ooooh yeah  
      G A7   G   E7  
My feet left the ground  

Now when I had my fun and the day was done I had demons swarming round my head 
I said devil you ain't said a word about these awful things I dread 
He said boy I'm the father of lies, believe that much to be true 
You signed a deal with the devil, now your days are numbered through and through 

  E7      G  
He spun me around 
             A7  
Before I knew it  
      G A7   G   E7  
My feet left the ground 

  E7      G  
He spun me around 
             A7  
Before I knew it  
      G A7   G   E7  
My feet left the ground
