The Devils Part

[Verse]
           Dm                     
I'm sorry darlin', but I will not 
Am
let you in
       Dm                       
I have seen this before, and I'm 
       Am
still covered in
      Dm                          
But I took his tremblin' hands, I 
Am
led them to my skin
      E                           
They twisted around my heart, and 
Am
let the dark light in

Dm  Am  E  Am

      Dm                           
So he came to me one night, to tell
    Am
 me he's not alone
     Dm                     Am
He's carrying a girl, and I left him
 on his own
    Dm                      Am
She opened up his skin, she lives 
inside his heart
          E                    Am
And he is scratching, begging, for 
her to part

[Chorus]
      F                     Am
Oh my darlin', you, you are not what
 I need
          F                  C    
I pray to mother, my god I'm down 
      Am
on my knees
Dm              Am
Please my love, please my open heart

Please take forgiveness mother, I

play the devils part

[Verse]
      Dm                         
So he shot his words like arrows, 
          Am
but they hit me as we stung
   Dm                             
He led me out of town, to tell me I 
Am
will die alone
Dm                                
'cause in my years of twenty-five,
   Am
 I gave a fool my heart
E                                  
Please take forgiveness mother, he 
Am
played the devils heart

[Chorus]
  F                     Am
Oh my darlin', you, you are not what
 I need
          F                  C    
I pray to mother, my god I'm down 
      Am
on my knees
Dm              Am
Please my love, please my open heart
E                               
Please take forgiveness mother, I 
Am
played the devils part

The devils part
    D                     Am
The devils part

The devils part

The devils part
N.C.                      Am
The devils part
  Dm                               
I could say I learnt a lesson, that
   Am
 I won't repeat again
     Dm                    Am
With every passing year, I learn to 
bury sin
        Dm
But I'm older now, truth be told,
     Am                      E
I'm falling right apart, now spend 
the last days burning
Am
Paper through my heart

[Chorus]
  F                     Am
Oh my darlin', you, you are not what
 I need
          F                  C    
I pray to mother, my god I'm down 
      Am
on my knees
Dm              D              Am
Please my love, please my open heart
E                              *
Please take forgiveness mother,
N.C.
I played the devils part
