[D#] [A]
From the check land circuit to the peppermint lounge, been run off more than once for going underground.
Where I met an old bluesman with a walking cane.
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 [A] you think.
He said [D] there's some tough choices to be made.
Then he took a little [A] drink and I heard him say, I do [D] not play no [A] rock and roll with [D] nothing
but my moon to sell [A] my soul.
[D] The demons are up to me.
Rock [F#m] you, sin.
[Am] [A] [D] Oh, the demons are up to me.
Oh, [A] you sin.
Straight down the line.
I passed an old church on my way back east.
I heard a gospel choir singing of war and peace.
I was deeply moved.
So I stepped inside.
I just stood in the back where I could easily hide.
[D] A woman in a black robe stood up and [A] pointed me out.
[D] She said, hallelujah, hallelujah.
[A] What if she began to sing?
This is what she said.
I do not play no rock and roll.
I would [D] not be moved [A] to sell my soul.
[D] The demons are up to me.
Rock [A] you, sin.
Oh, [D] the demons are up to me.
Rock [G] you, sin.
[F#] [A] Straight down the line.
[A]
[E] [A]
[E] [A] Now he could croon a tune as good as any [Am] one.
[A] And if he sings a song, then that song's been sung.
Some things got tradition.
Some shine like new.
And some things you can't change no matter what.
[D] He said, my friend, I've done it all, [A]
either for love or money.
[D] And if I laugh at your jokes, oh, [Am] that
means those jokes are [A] funny.
And one more thing.
I [D] do not play no [A] rock and roll.
I would not be moved to sell my soul.
The demons are up to me.
Rock you, sin.
Mm-hmm.
[D] Oh, the demons are up to me.
[A] Rock you, sin.
