[Gb] [Bbm] [Eb] Early [Bbm] this morning, [Gb] [Bbm] when you knocked upon my door.
[Gb] [Bbm] [Eb] Early [Bbm] this morning, [Gb] [Bbm] when you knocked upon my door.
[Gb] And [Bbm] [Eb] I [Bbm] say, let's go [Gb] save you now.
[F] I [Gb] believe it's time [Bbm] to go.
[Gb] [Bbm] [Eb] Me [Bbm] and the devil, [Gb] [Bbm] walking side by side.
[Gb] [Bbm] [Eb] Me [Bbm] and the devil, [Gb] [Bbm] [Eb] walking side [Bbm] by side.
[Gb] [Bbm] And I'm going to see my [Gb] woman now.
[F] [Gb] And I get [Bbm] satisfied.
She say, you don't see [Gb] why [Bbm] [Eb] you keep on [Bbm] dogging me around.
[Gb] [Bbm] She [Eb] say, [Bbm] you don't [Gb] see why [Bbm] you [Eb] keep on dogging me [Bbm] around.
[Gb] [Bbm] [Eb]
[Bbm] Don't feel at all [Gb] the spirit.
[F] [Gb] Go deep down [Bbm] in your ground.
[Gb] [Bbm]
You may [Gb] bury my body [Bbm] [Eb] down by the [Bbm] highway side.
[Gb] [F] [Ebm]
[Bbm] You may [Gb] bury my body [Bbm] down by the highway [Gb] side.

So my [Gb] old evil spirit, [G] just be [Gb] how you're supposed to [Bbm] ride.

[B] [G]
[Em] [B]
[G] [Em]
[Gb] [B] Standing in the ruins of another [G] black man's life.
[E] Flying through the valley, [Gb] separating day and night.
[N] I am death, cried the butcher, for the people of [E] light, light.
[Gb]
[B] Cairon brought his raft from the [G] sea that sails on soul.
[Em] I saw the scavenger departing, taking [Gb] warm hearts to the cold.
[B] He knew the ghetto was a haven [G] for the meanest creature ever known.
[E]
[Gb] [Eb] In a wilderness [N] of heartbreak and a desert of despair,
evil's clarion of justice [F] shrieks the cry [Ab] of naked terror.
[E] Taking babies [Db] from their mamas, [A] leaving grief beyond compare.
[Bb]
[Em] So if you see the vulture coming, [D] flying circles in your mind,
[Em] remember there is no escaping, [Bm] for he will follow close [Em] behind.
Only promise me a battle, battle for your soul [D] and mine, [C] and mine.
[E] [N]
