Verse 
    Dm             F 
The devil’s in the graveyard  
Em      G 
reading names 

   Dm              F 
Of all the ones he tripped up  
Em     G 
on the way 

   Dm               F 
He sits down in the moonlight,  
Em        G 
wipes his tears 

Dm             F 
Staring at the white rose 
Em      G 
that he placed 

    Am                   C                         Bm      D 
In front of the grave he visits each day since she slipped away

Verse 
    Dm              F 
The devil hides his blue eyes 
Em     G 
in his hand 

   Dm                  F 
He wipes away the last tears 
Em    G 
as he stands 

   Dm                 F 
He hears her voice so clearly 
Em     G 
on the breeze 

      Dm              F 
She’s singing like an angel 
Em             G 
to his weakest knees 

      Am                     C                           Bm    D 
So he twists off the cap and tips his head back for that sweet relief

Verse 
    Dm              F 
The devil’s walking slowly 
Em     G 
on the street 

  Dm              F 
Towards his empty condo  
Em          G 
where he’ll creep 

    Dm             F 
The silence of his bedroom 
Em        G 
before he slips 

Dm                  F 
Into his every nightmare  
Em    G 
as he sleeps 

   Am              C                                   Bm     D 
He sees her bright smile at the heavenly gates as he’s turned away
