Am - C - Am - E - Am
Am                          C
Drown my woes in a lake of fire
Am                 E       Am
Sing a song gonna take me higher
Am                          C
Drown my woes in a lake of fire
Am                 E       Am
Sing a song gonna take me higher
Am                           C
Good lord turned his back on me
Am             E      Am
Lucifer gonna set me free
Am                           C
Good lord turned his back on me
Am             E      Am
Lucifer gonna set me free

[Chorus]
        C                    E
It's a mean world that I've known
       Am                         F
Never got no good doing what I'm told
        C                    E
It's a mean world that I've known
            Am                            F
Now you'll find me where the devil don't go
                    E
where the devil don't go
Am - C - Am - C

[Verse 2]
 Am                        C
Preacher man won't cut no slack
 Am                   E        Am
Called my demons but gave them back
 Am                        C
Preacher man won't cut no slack

Called my demons but gave them back
 Am                               C
Bruised my knees getting down to pray
 Am                  E         Am
won't repent til my judgement day 
 Am                               C
