Tabs
Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)
Key: A augmentedA
Difficulty: Novice
Tabbed from a live video, and then by ear. Not sure it's 100% but it's pretty close. It's basically two
simple riffs. Listen for the proper timing and rhythm.

Lyrics:
Verse:
I don't wanna burn
I don't wanna drown
I don't wanna lay in no coffin the ground
O-ho Devil always following me
Walking in the woods
Standing in the street
Hiding in the eyes of every person that I meet
O-ho Devil always following me
Bridge:
Hear him walking
Hear him walking
Hear him walking
Chorus:
Devil got my mother
Devil got my father
Devil gonna get me one of these days
But I'm gonna try sir to live a little longer
I wanna get a chance to waste my life
Verse:
There he is again
Scratching on the roof
Hear the clip-a-clopping of his cloven hoof
O-ho Devil always following me
See that rising moon
Inevitable doom
Living in the shadow of perpetual gloom
O-ho Devil always following me
Bridge:
Hear him walking
Hear him walking
Hear him walking
Chorus:
Devil got my brother
Devil got my sister
Devil gonna get me one of these days
But I'm gonna try sir to live a little longer
I wanna get a chance to waste my life
Outro:
He of cloven hoof (x7)
