1. Lord, I found a rock and roll demon   hiding in the groove behind an A flat,

G                             C                           D          G                                               C           G          C      G

a groove so good I thought I must be dreaming;  I thought: I’d give my soul if I could always play that!

                C                                  D                          C                           G           C       G     C

Chorus: Rock and roll demon spoke in my tongue;  I had to be held down by my friends,

C                                             D

kicking and screaming at the top of my lungs:

C                               G                                C                                D      G C D G      C D G        

Let me go!  Get lost!  Let me go!  Get lost!  Let me go get lost again!

2. That demon said: “I’ll make you a deal,  but I don’t want you to feel any pressure;

  G                                         C                  D  G                                              C      G    C    G

just hang around a bit, and see how you feel.”  And I just smiled and said, “Yes, sir!  Yes, sir!”

                C                                  D                          C                           G           C       G     C

Chorus: Rock and roll demon spoke in my tongue;  I had to be held down by my friends,

kicking and screaming at the top of my lungs:

C                               G                                C                                D     

Let me go!  Get lost!  Let me go!  Get lost!  Let me go get lost again!

Bridge: Oh, and every wayward soul  accepts the heartache or chooses the woe. 

Am                                                                     D                                                       

People tell you where you’re going to go, but they’re only saying what they think they know.

  G                             C               D  G                                 C   G     C          G

He told me my soul wasn’t enough;  I said: “I’ll throw in my best friend’s soul.”
