Run Devil Run

Em Run devil run toward the rising of the sun Em B7 Run devil run away from me Em When you hear me coming ‘round you best get out of this town B7 Em And if you don’t, there’ll be hell to pay Em Some say they’ve seen her working, most just hear in the dead of night B7 Em B7 Em It’s a howling in the wind they say, like it’s calling for a fight Em She don’t come just when you call her but she’ll be there when there’s need B7 N.C. ‘Cause she’s there to hunt the devil down, yea she wants to see him bleed Em And she says run devil run toward the rising of the sun Em B7 Run devil run away from me Em When you hear me coming ‘round you best get out of this town B7 Em B7 Em Em B7 Em And if you don’t, there’ll be hell to pay Em Call her prophet, call her priestess, call her witch or patron saint B7 Em B7 Em But we know Jesus ain’t around no more and there’s people needing saved Em Don’t think God’s got any part of it, no holy books or ancient tongues B7 Em B7 Em There’s bottle of fire in her hand, and there’s fire in her lungs Em And she says run devil run toward the rising of the sun Em B7 Run devil run away from me Em When you hear me coming ‘round you best get out of this town B7 Em B7 Em Em B7 Em And if you don’t, there’ll be hell to pay Em Am7 Em Don’t know if it’s a gift she has, don’t know if it’s a curse Am7 B7 Wonder if she’s chased the devil down since he’s come into the world Em You’ll wonder if you were just dreaming, if you heard some unholy brawl B7 Em B7 Em But you’ll feel a presence in your bones when she comes to make her call Em We keep monsters in our storybooks, we hang heroes on our walls B7 N.C. But of the folklore and the fables, she’s the tallest tale of all Em And she says run devil run toward the rising of the sun Em B7 Run devil run away from me Em When you hear me coming ‘round you best get out of this town B7 She said run, run, run Em B7 Em Run devil run
