A5
As I was walking in the big black woods
F5   G5        A5
Hey ho, the big black woods
A5              G5           F5             A5
I met the evil devil and he offered me a ride
F5   E5      A5       E5   A5
Hey ho, he offered me a ride



    A5            G5             D5           A5
He said you look tired, let me carry you a while
 F5   G5 C5       E5      A5
Hey ho on the devil's back
           A5            G5       D5           A5
There's an evil, little bastard hiding in his eye
 F5   E5      A5     G5         A5  
Hey ho, of fire, flames and fry



C5 E5 A5   
Lord, I'm only human
     G5           D5       A5
I'm tired and I wanna go home
        C5 E5 A5
Let me ride on the devil's back,
     G5   D5  E5
But save my soul
         A5
Save my soul



The rain poured down from the grey sky above
Hey ho, the rain pissed down
But the devil he went hasty
And steady running fast
Hey ho, oh this could never last
And then he saw my home through
The branches and the leaves
Hey ho, lay hidden by the trees
Inside my darling loved one
And children oh so sweet
Hey ho, my children oh so sweet

Lord knows you're only human
You were tired and you wanted to go home
Pay me the soul of your one true love
Or you will never see your children again

Oh Lord knows you're only human
You were tired and you wanted to go home
Pay me the soul of your one true love
Or you will never see your children again
Save my soul!
