G                     C           G
A small town a little long in the tooth
              C    Em      
Old testament fireproof
G                   C          G
New York City's got nothing on you
           C               G 
Except the glitter and the charm
        C             Em
And the money and the view
         C          G
Then the Devil came around

G              C             G
Mother Courage where are you now
             C          Em      
Sister Mercy run out of town
G                C               G
Father Confessor drowning in the crowd
    C           G
Oh, brothers in arms, 
         C           Em
There weren't nobody around
         C          G
And then the Devil came down
        C          G       D
Oh, the Devil came down on you
           C         G
You little suffering town

[continue the chord progression throughout .....]

A double shift, a birth and a death
Four hundred dollars of crystal-meth
Nobody thinks they'll end up here
But the Devil's got a way of whispering in your ear
And then the devil comes down

Oh man, look at you go
A yellow taxi's taking you home
Don't know her name, couldn’t call it when you wake
She's a comfortable mistake
The kind you know you're gonna make
When the Devil goes down
Oh, the Devil went down on you
And you're suffering now

Three bars and a video store
A gas station and a funeral home
Some days you're cold to the bone 
Even when you're not alone
Get Jesus on the phone
Because the Devil came down
Oh, the Devil came down on you 
And your suffering town
