[A]
Hmm.
I'm a gentleman sent to the government [Em] lounge.
Been [A] run off more than once for going underground.
Where I met an old blues man with a walking name.
He wore a striped suit and used someone else's name.
[D] He said, son, I've seen it all and it's not what you [A] think.
[D] He said there's some tough choices to be made.
[B] And then he took a [A] little drink and I heard him say.
I do not play.
No [E] rock and roll.
[A] Would [D] not be ruled.
Tell [A] my soul.
[D] The demons are out tonight.
[Bm] [D] Rock and [A] say.
Oh, [D] the demons are out tonight.
[Dm] We're rolling [A] in the [E] straight down the line.
[A] And I passed an old church on my way back east.
I heard a gospel choir singing a war of [C] peace.
[A] I was deeply moved.
So I stepped inside.
I just stood in the back where I could easily hide.
[D] Woman in a black robe stood up and pointed [A] me out.
[D] She said, hallelujah, hallelujah.
[A] Lord, and she began to shout.
And this is what she said.
I do not [D] play.
No rock and roll.
Would [D] not be ruled.
Tell my [A] soul.
[D] The demons are out tonight.
[C] Rock [A] and say.
[E] [D] Oh, the demons are out tonight.
[F] We're [A] rolling in the [E]
straight [A] down the line.
[Eb] [A]
[G] [A] [C]
[A]
[Am] [A] I hate you, Crona, too, as good as anyone.
And if he sings his song, then that song [Em] been [A] sung.
Something's got to dish it.
Some sound like news.
Some things you can't change.
No matter what you do.
[D] He said, my friend, I've done it all.
[A] Even for love or money.
[D] Even if I laugh at your joke.
[Bm] [A] So that means it's so funny.
And one more thing.
I do not play.
No rock and roll.
[D] Would not be ruled.
[A] Tell my soul.
[D] The demons are out tonight.
Rock [A] your center.
[D] Oh, the demons are out tonight.
Oh, [Bm] [A] [E] the [B]
demons [A] [E]
[Am]
[A]
[Am]
are [A] [N]
[Ab] [Eb]
