D5 If I was the devil A5 I'd hang out in Blue Eye, Missouri G5 A5 Where the water and the mountain collide D5 I'd scare all the little children A5 And rumble around beneath the beds G5 Tell them all kind of stories A5 You can't help but get them stuck in their heads D5 Then I'd take out some of your livestock A5 You can blame it on the beast of the night G5 But you know it was me A5 Same as you know wrong and right D5 If I was the devil A5 I'd go and find your preacher man G5 A5 Crusty and white hair D5 I'd tell him that hell is on the way A5 Scare him right out of his skin G5 A5 See the brimstone in his eyes D5 A5 Then a band of fat white deacons would take him far away G5 A5 That would be just fine with me D5 If I was the devil D5 A5 G5 A5 D5 A5 G5 A5 D5 If I was the devil A5 I'd gather up all your dreams G5 A5 And drop them to the bottom of a black lagoon D5 A5 I'd steal away all your patience and steal away all your pride G5 A5 Leave you with nothing but uncontrollable fear D5 And then I'd reveal my masterpiece A5 As I dance around with the night G5 Down in Blue Eye, Missouri A5 D5 Where the water and the mountain collide D5 A5 G5 A5 D5
