[Intro]

[Verse 1]
G
Don't play cards with Satan, he'll deal you an awful hand
C                                                    G
Don't play cards with Satan, he'll deal you an awful hand
      D                        C              G
Did I ever stop and tell you I am a desperate man


[Verse 2]
  G                        
I thought I saw a bluebird sitting on a post
  C                                     G
I thought I saw a bluebird sitting on a post 
D                    C                          G 
Shiver down my spine, I thought it was the Holy Ghost


[Verse 3]
  G
I heard the word before and I knew that it was good
  C                                            G
I heard the word before and I knew that it was good
D                 C                   G
Somebody oughta do like the Good Book should


[Verse 4]
  G                       
I heard the voice of Satan crying in the woods
  C                                      G
I heard the voice of Satan crying in the woods
  D                      C           G
I saw my own heart laying black with blood


[Verse 5]
G
Don't play cards with Satan, he'll deal you an awful hand
C                                                    G
Don't play cards with Satan, he'll deal you an awful hand
      D                        C              G
Did I ever stop and tell you I am a desperate man
            D
A desperate man
