This is a new song off of Great Big Sea's new album "Fortune's Favour". It's my favorite from the album and I figured it out by ear. It sounds better with power chords on an electric guitar, but here are the acoustic chords. I will try and put up an electric tab in the future. If you have any suggestions/comments just leave a comment in the comment section and I'll get back to you. Note that you can replace the C's with Cadd9, but they both sound the same, depending on picky you are. Tuning: Standard [Intro]
GLove me now while we're alive It's the Cbest thing we can Gdo We'll Chave no time uGpon cloud nine So Aheaven on earth will Dhave to do
I can Gsing like a bird, and dance like a demon And I Cdo it all so Gwell 'Cause I made a Cdeal with the devil And Gwhen I Emdie CI'm goin' Dstraight to Ghell!
[Verse]
GStandin' at the crossroad He offered Cwine, women and songG A Criches, fame and fortGune In my Ahands from that day Don
(Same as last paragraph) I was granted there and then A life of rock & roll And it seemed like such a bargain For just one eternal soul [Pre-Chorus]
CI know I'll curse this damn decision And I'll regGret it 'till the moment I fall But I'll be Amakin' the most of a bad situation UntDil my number's called
[Chorus]
GLove me now while we're alive It's the Cbest thing we can doG Oh we'll haCve no time upoGn cloud nine HeaAven on earth will havDe to do
I can Gsing like a bird, and dance like a demon And I Cdo it all so Gwell 'Cause I made a Cdeal with the devil And Gwhen I Emdie CI'm goin' Dstraight to Ghell! GOh Emyeah! CI'm goin' Dstraight to Ghell!
[Verse 2, same chords as first verse] There's times I swear I've come out on top In this ill conceived contract And there's nights I say it's a small price to pay For the life and times I've had And I think "Here's to the gents and ladies" And all the foolish times we spent They cost me afterlife in paradise And they were worth every single cent [Pre-Chorus 2, same chords as first pre-chorus] So have a dance with the walkin' 'dam Before my time is done 'Cause a deal is a deal and I don't expect Fire and brimstone'll be much fun! [Chorus] [Pre-bridge]
GI said straight to hell Go to hell!
[Bridge] [instrumental, same chords as chorus] [Verse 3, same as others] I have every expectation That my final prayer will go unheard And my veiled deathbed confession Will not move the mighty Lord And I'm sure that I'll be sorry When he slams St. Peter's gate But I'll dive right into damnation With a smile across my face! [Chorus]
C'Cause I made a deal with the devil AndG when IEm die CI'm goin' Dstraight to Ghell! GOh Emyeah! CI'm goin' Dstraight to Ghell! GOh Emyeah! CI'm goin' Dstraight to Ghell!
