Verse 1
Dm
Well, the Devil went down to Georgia
He was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind ’cause he was way behind
And he was willing to make a deal
When he came across this young man
Playin' a guitar and pickin' it hot
And the Devil jumped up on a hickory stump
A
C
And said, "Hey, boy, let me tell you what"
Verse 2
Dm
"Guess you didn't know it,
but I'm a guitar player too
And if you'd care to take a dare,
then I'll make a little bet with you
Now you play a pretty good guitar, boy,
but give the Devil his due
I'll bet a guitar o' gold against your soul,
A
C
'cause I think I'm better than you"
Dm
Well, the boy said, "My name’s Johnny
Dm
and this might bе a sin
Dm
But I’m gon' take your bet
and you’re gonna rеgret
A
'cause I'm the best that's ever been"

Gm
All Hell’s broke loose in Georgia
Dm
and the Devil deals the cards
And if you win, you get

A
But if you lose,
G

the Devil gets your soul

Verse 3
Dm
Well, the Devil, he just opens up his case
and he said, "Well, I'll start this thing"
And the fire flew from his fingertips
as he started tuning them strings
He put that pick down on them strings
and it made an evil sound
And him and them demons all got together
A
C
Started puttin' this weird music down

The Devil finished, and Johnny said,
"Well, that's pretty good pickin' son
But pull up a chair, sit down right there
I'm gon' show you how it's done"
Chorus 1
D
And he played fire on the mountain,
run, boys, run
C
The Devil's in the house of the risin' sun

Chicken in the bread-pan pickin' out dough
C
Granny, does your dog bite? No, child, no

Verse 5
Dm
Well, I'm afraid the Devil just bowed his head
'cause he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden guitar
on the ground right there at Johnny's feet
Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back
if you ever wanna try it again
'Cause I done told you once, you son of a gun,
I'm the best there's ever been"
Chorus 2

And he played fire on the mountain,
run, boys, run
C
The Devil's in the house of the risin' sun
D
Chicken in the bread-pan
pickin' out dough
C
Granny, does your dog bite? No, child, no
