Dm If I was the devil Am I'd hang out in Blue Eye, Missouri G A Where the water and the mountain collide Dm I'd scare all the little children Am And rumble around beneath the beds G Tell them all kind of stories A You can't help but get them stuck in their heads Dm Then I'd take out some of your livestock Am You can blame it on the beast of the night G But you know it was me A Same as you know wrong and right Dm If I was the devil Am I'd go and find your preacher man G A Crusty and white hair Dm I'd tell him that hell is on the way Am Scare him right out of his skin G A See the brimstone in his eyes Dm Am Then a band of fat white deacons would take him far away G A That would be just fine with me Dm If I was the devil DAGADAGA Dm If I was the devil Am I'd gather up all your dreams G A And drop them to the bottom of a black lagoon Dm Am I'd steal away all your patience and steal away all your pride G A Leave you with nothing but uncontrollable fear Dm And then I'd reveal my masterpiece Am As I dance around with the night G Down in Blue Eye, Missouri A Dm Where the water and the mountain collide DAGADm
