Verse 1
(G major) Say farewell, g'night, Sonny- Jim,
(A major) (C sharpdim)
(G major) In your defenseless, (C major) winning smile. (G major)
What do you hope to win? (A major) (C sharpdim)
(A major) An (G major) d bliss face down, (C major)
defended. (G major)
Well, now stoned Demon John (A major) (G major) (C major)

cannot belong

Verse 2
(C major) Why did you come (G major) here?
Is it to excav (E minor) ate all your (A major) sins? (G major) Boil (A major) within?
(C major) Slaughter (G major) like the daughter
of the devil you send (A major) me.
(F sharp minor) I have to deal, (C major) you called me here. (G major)
You (F sharp minor) couldn't say that (G major) you were juiced
The night that (F sharp minor) you were (G major) introduced
To (A major) Demon (E minor) John (A major)
Gonna (G major) take him with you
(F sharp minor) when you (G major) go? (A major)
(G major) Dance down (F sharp minor) slow. (G major) (A major) Oh,
way (C major) down. (G major) (A major) (G major) (E minor) (C major)
You (G major) cannot escape the bar-
side angel (A major) dis (E minor) sector
(G major) (C major) You (G major) undo you life with too much cocoon, (C sharpdim)
(E major) (E minor)
Who's your pro (C major) tector?
(G major) Dark is the city where the white girls walk (A major) by,
(C sharpdim) (A major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
Down below your eyes, just like fire (A major) flies.
(G major) (A major) (C major) You call me here,
(G major) come on here, follow me dear,
Pas (A major) t cas (C sharpdim) cades (F sharp minor) of rage (G major) and fear.
(C major) You called me here.
(G major) You (E minor) (G major) couldn't (F sharp minor) say that
(G major) you had (C sharpdim) been juiced
The (F sharp minor) time that you were (G major) introduced
to (A major) Demon John.
Well, you knew you had to (F sharp minor) want to (G major) go
(A major) (C sharpdim) (A major) , dance (F sharp minor) down (A major) slow.
(G major) By the light (E major) of the sun, (A major) murder comes
(B minor) Today or tonight (E major)
Better (C sharp minor) get yourself an (A major) d transcend it,
Or burst of (D major) light
Blaze stars in (G major) to (C major) me,
While (G major) the (F major) love breaks through
here and (G major) now. (E major)
(E minor) So, murder (C major) by the light
of the sun (G major) . (F sharpsus4) (G major)
Please (F sharp minor) (G major) don't get too
close to me. (F sharp minor) (G major) (F sharp minor)
(G major) You said you are for (F sharp minor) real,
(G major) it's not pretend. (F sharp minor) (G major)
All memor (F sharp minor) ies (G major) stolen,
know this for yourself.
(F sharp minor) (G major) How would you (F sharp minor) like to (G major) be (A major) the happi
(F sharp minor) est man in the (G major) world? (A major)
(G major) Behind the (F sharp minor) weathered (G major) field hand (A major) s,
(G major) whose blistered
Paws
Harvest (A major) cut, (G major) for wedding (F sharp minor) clothes
(G major) they'll never (E minor) wear,
(G major) Marching down (F sharp minor) a road (G major) that was never there.
It takes place on a sunlit face
and the back (D major) bone (G major) broken. (A major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
(A major) Please (E minor) bring us (A major) light, (G major) Demon (C major) John,
(G major) you (C major) Demon John. (F sharp minor)
Take him with you (F sharp major) (G major) when (C sharpdim) you go.
(C major)
