G                     C            G                 
Don't play cards with Satan, he'll deal you an awful hand

Did I ever stop to tell you I am a desperate man, desperate man


[Verse 2]
  G                        C            G
I thought I saw a bluebird sitting on a post

[Verse 3]

I heard the word before and I knew that it was good

I heard the word before and I knew that it was good

Somebody oughta do like the Good Book should


[Verse 4]
  G                        C             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]

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 to tell you I am a desperate man
