Eb

[Verse 1]
Ebm         Abm
Down below, down below
Bb                              Eb
Caught the devil talking to his son
                 Eb        Abm
Who wanted to go up above, up above
F                                      Bb
He cried, "It's getting to warm for me down here and so
Bb
I'm going up to Earth where I can have a little fun."
Bb
The devil slowly smiled and then he answered his son

[Chorus]
Eb         Bb             Eb
"Stay down here where you belong
              Bb                                   Eb
The folks who live above you don't know right from wrong
                Eb            Eb                Eb
To please their king, they've all gone out to war
        F                                    Bb
And not one of them knows what he's fighting for
Eb                               Ab
Way up above they say that I'm a devil and I'm bad
F                         Bb
Kings up there are bigger devils than your dad
Eb                              Abm
Breaking the hearts of mothers, making butchers of their brothers
Bb                                                  Eb
You'll find more heat up there than there is down below"
Abm Bb

[Verse 2]
Ebm              Abm
"Kings up there, they don't care
Bb                               Eb
For the mothers who must stay at home, their troubles to bear
Eb            Abm
Stay at home, don't you roam
F                                  Bb
Although it's warm down here, it's warmer up there
Bb
If you go way up there, my son, I know you'll be surprised
Bb
You'll find a lot of people who are not civilized"

[Chorus]
Eb         Bb             Eb
"Stay down here where you belong
              Bb                                   Eb
The folks who live above you don't know right from wrong
                Eb            Eb                Eb
To please their king, they've all gone out to war
        F                                    Bb
And not one of them knows what he's fighting for
Eb                               Ab
Way up above they say that I'm a devil and I'm bad
F                         Bb
Kings up there are bigger devils than your dad
Eb                              Abm
Breaking the hearts of mothers, making butchers of their brothers
Bb                                                  Eb
You'll find more heat up there than there is down below
