[Verse 1]
         G           C       F           C
He ain't made out of iron or made out of steel
         G          C           F               C
He ain't no work of art, but he sure as hell is real
   G           C        F         C
He ain't got a pedestal up on the hill
         G
He's the Devil of the North and he don't stand still

[Verse 2]
             G              C        F              C
Well, he was there when the underdog got to win the race
       G              C              F             C
He was there when the Rent Collector landed on his face
       G              C        F           C
He was there when the Landlord didn't call time
    G                             C          G
The Devil put the ball across the Sunderland line


[Chorus]
C                         Em
Shout it from the pulpit, bang it on a drum
D                        C               G
Call for your momma, but she ain't gonna come
C                  Em
No use hiding when he rides forth
       D
You're gonna have to level with the Devil of the North

[Verse 3]
             G          C           F       C
He makes the weeds grow tall in the factory yard
            G           C                F           C
He puts the coal on the beaches when the living gets hard
    G          C                F         C
You touch your hat and give the Devil his due
            G                           C               G
'Cause he's looking out for me and he's looking out for you


[Chorus]
C                         Em
Shout it from the pulpit, bang it on a drum
D                        C               G
Call for your momma, but she ain't gonna come
C                  Em
No use hiding when he rides forth
       D
You're gonna have to level with the Devil of the North

[Verse 4]
         G             C             F         C
When the mist's on the river and the feeling's fine
          G         C              F         C
He's in a snack bar sitting with a friend of mine
         G           C            F           C
When the shutters go down and the lights come on
          G              C                F       C
You'll be waiting on the corner, but he's already gone

[Verse 5]
G        C      F        C
Some say wrong, some say right
       G          C           F          C
It's a little bit black and a little bit white
         G            C           F             C
From the banks of the Tyne to the shores of the Forth
       G
We've all got a little of the Devil of the North


Chorus:
C                         Em
Shout it from the pulpit, bang it on a drum
D                        C               G
Call for your momma, but she ain't gonna come
C                  Em
No use hiding when we ride forth
       D
You're gonna have to level with the Devil of the North
C                  Em
No use hiding when we ride forth
       D
You're gonna have to level with the Devil of the North

You're gonna have to level with the Devil of the North
