Early this morning
                         A7  Adim7  A7 Adim7 A7
You knocked upon my door
               D7/F#
Early this morning
                         A7  Adim7  A7  Adim7
You knocked upon my door

And I said
E7           D7/F#                           A  A7/G  D/F#  Dm/F  E7
"Hello, Satan     I believe it's time to go"

[Verse 2]
A7               Adim7
Me and the devil
                          A7  Adim7  A7  Adim7  A7
Were walking side by side
              D7/F#
Me and the devil
                          A7  Adim7  A7  Adim7  A7
Were walking side by side
                  E7       D7/F#
I'm going to beat my woman
                      A  A7/G  D/F#  Dm/F  E7
Until I get satisfied

[Verse 3]
                     A7      Adim7
She said she doesn't see why
Adim7
That I will dog her around
A7             Adim7                 A7      Adim7
(Now baby, you know you aren't doing me right)
A7                       D7/F#
She said she doesn't see why
                           A  E7  A
That I will dog her around
                          E7          D7/F#
Well, it must be that old evil spirit
                           A  A7/G  D/F#  Dm/F  E7
So deep down in the ground

[Verse 4]
A7                   Adim7
You may bury my body
Adim7
Down by the highway side
A7                 Adim7                 A7   Adim7    A7
(I don't care where you bury my body when I'm dead and gone.)
                D7/F#
You may bury my body
                         A  E7  A
Down by the highway side
            E7
Oh, my old evil spirit
