Gordon Lightfoot - Heaven Help The Devil


CAPO: 4th Fret


INTRO:: D MajorD C majorC G+G A augmentedA D MajorD  Gmaj7Gmaj7

VERSE 1::
D MajorD                 Gmaj7Gmaj7
In this land of chance, do we know right from wrong
D MajorD     G+G          D MajorD
Even at a glance, we know the road is long
A/D              D MajorD
We don't owe a single thing to anyone
               Gmaj7Gmaj7      D MajorD
Most of us do not believe in come-what-may
       G+G         D MajorD
Everything we fought for was in vain, they say
A/D                D MajorD
Even when called upon to throw our lives away

CHORUS::
       G+G        A augmentedA       D MajorD   G+G
We have been captured by the thieves of the night
     D MajorD       A augmentedA   D MajorD A augmentedA
Held for ransom if you please
D MajorD        C majorC
Heaven help the Devil
    G+G      A augmentedA      D MajorD   Gmaj7Gmaj7
May he have a few unpleasant memories


VERSE 2::
D MajorD               Gmaj7Gmaj7
In these times of trial and uncertainty
D MajorD          G+G         D MajorD
I have thought, what does this freedom mean to me
  A/D              D MajorD
Or is it just some long forgotten fantasy
                Gmaj7Gmaj7
Our love for each other may not be explained
D MajorD      G+G           D MajorD
We live in a world where tears must fall like rain
  A/D                 D MajorD
But most of us don't wish to cause each other pain


CHORUS::
       G+G        A augmentedA       D MajorD   G+G
We have been captured by the thieves of the night
     D MajorD       A augmentedA   D MajorD A augmentedA
Held for ransom if you please
D MajorD        C majorC
Heaven help the Devil
    G+G      A augmentedA      D MajorD   Gmaj7Gmaj7  D MajorD  Gmaj7Gmaj7
May he have a few unpleasant memories

VERSE 3::
  D MajorD            Gmaj7Gmaj7
To every unsung hero in the universe
  D MajorD         G+G          D MajorD
To those who roam the skies and those who roam the earth
  A/D               D MajorD
To all good men of reason may they never thirst
                   Gmaj7Gmaj7
We have wings to guide us through the timeless sea
  D MajorD         G+G         D MajorD
And faith that will remain through all eternity
A/D             D MajorD
We try to be helpful to the ones in need


CHORUS::
         G+G        A augmentedA       D MajorD   G+G
Yet we have been captured by the thieves of the night
     D MajorD       A augmentedA   D MajorD A augmentedA
Held for ransom if you please
D MajorD        C majorC
Heaven help the Devil
    G+G      A augmentedA      D MajorD
May he have a few unpleasant memories
        C majorC
Heaven help the Devil
    G+G      A augmentedA      D MajorD
May he have a few unpleasant memories
