[Verse]
G Em
The devil’s in the graveyard
D D7
reading names

G Em
Of all the ones he tripped up
D D7
on the way

G Em
He sits down in the moonlight,
D D7
wipes his tears

G Em
Staring at the white rose
D D7
that he placed

G B D7
In front of the grave he visits each day since she slipped away

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
G Em
The devil hides his blue eyes
D D7
in his hand

G Em
He wipes away the last tears
D D7
as he stands

G Em
He hears her voice so clearly
D D7
on the breeze

G Em
She’s singing like an angel
D D7
to his weakest knees

G B D7
So he twists off the cap and tips his head back for that sweet relief

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
G Em
The devil’s walking slowly
D D7
on the street

G Em
Towards his empty condo
D D7
where he’ll creep

G Em
The silence of his bedroom
D D7
before he slips

G Em
Into his every nightmare
D D7
as he sleeps

G B D7
He sees her bright smile at the heavenly gates as he’s turned away
