The Nightwatchman - The king of hell

^EmReleased from reason,^C alive with pain ^AmThe actors change, the play is the ^Emsame

As ^Emhe and his ministers converse, I peaked ^Cout from behind the well And ^Amoh how I surprised to learn, the devil'^Ems not the king of hell

^EmThe devil is not the king of hell, the devil is not the king of hell A ^Cviolent dance of slippery stones, the ^Amline's gone dead we're all alone The ^Gdevil is not the ^D/F#king of ^Emhell

^EmSmellin' victory,^C the engine hums ^AmOf in the distance, they beat the ^Emdrums

^EmAmidst the blood and rubble I look for ^Csouvenirs to sell And ^Amoh how I surprised to learn, the devil's^Em not the king of hell

Oh ^Emblack was the mark, black was the mark, black was the mark, laid on Cain ^CBlack was the list, black was the list, black was the ^Amlist, with our names ^EmOh black was the mark, black was the mark, black was the mark, laid on Cain ^CBlack was the list, black was the list, black was the ^Amlist, with our names

^EmTonight I'm gonna do some things, that^C I've never done before I'm ^Amgonna find out what the screamin's about on the ^Emother side of that door So ^Emdon't you bother callin' there ^Cain't nobody home Some^Amtimes we got to stand together,^Em sometimes alone

The ^Emdevil is not the king of hell, the devil is not the king of hell A ^Cviolent dance of slippery stones, the ^Amline's gone dead we're all alone The ^Emdevil is not the king of hell, the devil is not the king of hell A ^Cviolent dance of slippery stones, The ^Amline's gone dead The ^Emline's gone dead, the lines gone dead The ^Cline's gone dead, the ^Amline's gone dead The ^Gdevil is not the ^D/F#king of ^Emhell
