Gordon Lightfoot - Heaven Help The Devil


CAPO: 4th Fret



INTRO:: D C G A D  Gmaj7

VERSE 1::
D                 Gmaj7
In this land of chance, do we know right from wrong
D     G          D
Even at a glance, we know the road is long
A/D              D
We don't owe a single thing to anyone
               Gmaj7      D
Most of us do not believe in come-what-may
       G         D
Everything we fought for was in vain, they say
A/D                D
Even when called upon to throw our lives away

CHORUS::
       G        A       D   G
We have been captured by the thieves of the night
     D       A   D A
Held for ransom if you please
D        C
Heaven help the Devil
    G      A      D   Gmaj7
May he have a few unpleasant memories


VERSE 2::
D               Gmaj7
In these times of trial and uncertainty
D          G         D
I have thought, what does this freedom mean to me
  A/D              D
Or is it just some long forgotten fantasy
                Gmaj7
Our love for each other may not be explained
D      G           D
We live in a world where tears must fall like rain
  A/D                 D
But most of us don't wish to cause each other pain


CHORUS::
       G        A       D   G
We have been captured by the thieves of the night
     D       A   D A
Held for ransom if you please
D        C
Heaven help the Devil
    G      A      D   Gmaj7  D  Gmaj7
May he have a few unpleasant memories


VERSE 3::
  D            Gmaj7
To every unsung hero in the universe
  D         G          D
To those who roam the skies and those who roam the earth
  A/D               D
To all good men of reason may they never thirst
                   Gmaj7
We have wings to guide us through the timeless sea
  D         G         D
And faith that will remain through all eternity
A/D             D
We try to be helpful to the ones in need


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