Fairport Convention - Devils work

When you ^Gthink I'm doing nothing And you feel up for a ^Cfight It's ^Gme you should be trusting 'Cause you ^Cknow I'll get it ^Dright

Won't you ^Glisten to my story How the Devil took my ^Chand And ^Gled me to a bench and vise ^CWhere I made my ^Dstand

^DI'm doing the deed I like, finish it some day Shoring up this house of god, while ^Clife it slips a^Dway ^DI'm doing the deed I like, finish it some day Shoring up this house of god, while ^Clife it slips a^Dway

Well, I ^Gcould have been a builder With muscles for a ^Cheart I'm ^Gmaking straight lines for you Or ^Cdigging turf and ^Dsod

Just ^Glook at that musician How soft his hands must ^Cbe There ^Gis no intuition Per^Cform it too like ^Dme

Oh, the ^Gpower and the glory The pleasure and the ^Cpain That ^GScandinavian's got it made I'm ^Cbuying stuff for ^Ddebt

When you ^Gthink I'm doing nothing I'm still up for a ^Cfight It's ^Gme you should be trusting 'Cause you ^Cknow I'll get it ^Dright

Won't you ^Glisten to my story How the Devil took my ^Chand And ^Gled me to a bench and vise ^CWhere I made my ^Dstand
