The Devil Went Down To Deep Gap Chords

Key: Dm 🎸 Intro: Dm C Dm Am Dm [🎸 Verse 1: Bryan Sutton & Del McCoury] Dm The devil went down to Deep Gap, he was looking for a soul to steal Dm He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind and he was willing to make a deal Dm When he came across this young blind man, playing tunes, picking it hot Dm The devil jumped up on a hickory stump and said, "Boy, let me tell you what [🎸 Verse 2: Del McCoury, Bryan Sutton & Billy Strings] Dm I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a guitar picker, too Dm And if you care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you Dm Now, you got a pretty good lick, ol' boy, but give the devil his due Dm I'll bet a guitar of gold against your soul 'cause I think I'm better than you" Dm The boy said, "My name's Arthel and, though it be unwise Dm I'll take that bet, you're gonna regret, I can see right through your lies"

[🎸 Bridge: Bryan Sutton & Billy Strings] Dm C Arthel, get yourself warmed up and let your fingers fly Gm Dm 'Cause Hell's broke loose in Carolina, and the devil, he ain't shy Gm If you win, you'll get this shiny guitar made of gold A But if you lose, the devil gets your soul [Acoustic Guitar Solo] Dm C Dm [🎸 Verse 3: Bryan Sutton & Del McCoury] Dm Well, then the devil opened up his case and he said, "Let me start this thing" Dm And fire flew from his fingertips as he was tuning up his strings Dm And as he laid his pick up to the wires, it made an evil wail Dm Then a band of demons all joined in and released the sounds of Hell [Electric Guitar Solo] Dm C Dm [🎸 Verse 4: Bryan Sutton & Billy Strings] Dm Now, when the devil finished, Arthel said, "Well, that's pretty good there, son Dm But sit down in that chair right there and let me show you how it's done" [🎸 Chorus: Bryan Sutton & Billy Strings] D Fire on the mountain, run, boys, run C The devil's in the house of the rising sun D Lost Johhny walking out in the rain C "Deep River Blues" and "Reuben's Train" [Acoustic Guitar Solo] Dm C Dm C Dm C A Dm [🎸 Verse 5: Bryan Sutton & Billy Strings] Dm The devil bowed his head because he knew that he had been beat Dm And he laid that golden guitar on the ground at Arthel's feet N.C.
