Even the devil was an angel 'fore he tried to rush the throne
      DmDm           G5G5  A7A7

DmDm                G5G5      A7A7
   He saw that Jesus had some tricks up his sleeve

He said "Oh man Jesus I can't do things your way
   DmDm        A7A7          DmDm   A7A7  DmDm
But I see you work for somebody big, so I'm backin' your play."

   Old man Nicodemus, his pockets they were deep
      DmDm           G5G5       A7A7
And on the day that they decided to put Jesus to sleep

Jesus could not care for money now or any such thing
     DmDm         A7A7     DmDm   A7A7   DmDm

Told Noah build a boat, on the driest of days
     DmDm                  A7A7
And everybody in the neighborhood thought old Noah was insane
         DmDm    A7A7      DmDm  A7A7  DmDm
