x02000
Em/A        C          Em/A                 C
Right to my devil ways, can you hear my soul  screaming?

Em/A                C             Bm                         E
Lord let me see the light of day, song and sisters won't you hear my prayer?

Em/A             C            Em/A                 C
Word of God come touch my hand - Why did you keep me sleeping?

Em/A                   C           Bm                      E
Boy, 'twas to make you understand - Devil's running in the desert sands


Em/A                            C     Em/A            C   
Is this darkness that I see before me,   darkness before me?

Bm                     E  
Devil's running in the desert sands, singin'

Em/A        C... (like last verse)
La da da di


Bridge;
Am                   D                  G                       C                    
Come on baby help me please, now honey, tell 'em girl it wasn't me, sister

     F#m                     B                    Em     Em/F#  Em/G   Em/G#
I'm begging girl, I'm down on my knees, won't you tell a lie?

Am                     D            G                   C
Girl, I know I saw you there, and I know you saw what I did

            F#m            B                 Em     Em/F#  Em/G   Em/G#     
I've got to count on you, girl, don't let me die

Am                     D          G                       C
All I really want from you, is to turn and look the other way

         F#m              B                 Em     Em/F#  Em/G   Em/G#
It won't hurt you from inside, don't let me die

A  D  G  C            F#m        Bm          Em
