Demon John Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Say farewell, g'night, Sonny- Jim,
[A][C#dim]
[G]In your def[C]enseless, winning smi[G]le.
What do you hope [A]to win?[C#dim]
[A]And b[G]liss face[C] down,
[G]defended.
Well, now stoned Demon [A]John[G][C]
[G]There's no town the boy
cannot belong
[C#dim][F#m][D]

[Verse 2]
[C]Why did [G]you come here?
Is it to excav[Em]ate all your s[A]ins? B[G]oil [A]within?
[C]Sla[G]ughter like the daughter
of the devil you send [A]me.
[F#m]I have to dea[C]l, you called me here.[G]
You [F#m]couldn't say that [G]you were juiced
The night that [F#m]you were [G]introduced
To [A]Demon [Em]John[A]
Gonna [G]take him with you
[F#m]when you [G]go?[A]
[G]Dance down [F#m]slow. [G]Oh,[A]
[C]way [G]down.[A][G][Em][C]
You [G]cannot escape the bar-
side [A]angel dis[Em]sector
[G]You[C] undo y[G]ou life with too much cocoon,[C#dim]
[E][Em]
Who's your pro[C]tector?
[G]Dark is the city where the white girls walk by,[A]
[C#dim][A][G][C][G]
Down below your eyes, just like fire[A]flies.
[G]You[A] ca[C]ll me here,
[G]come on here, follow me dear,
Pas[A]t cas[C#dim] cades of[F#m] rage and fear[G].
[C]You called me here.
[G]You [Em]coul[G]dn't say tha[F#m]t
[G]you had [C#dim]been juiced
The [F#m]time that you were i[G]ntroduced
to [A]Demon John.
Well, you knew you had to [F#m]want to g[G]o
[A], d[C#dim]ance down[A] slow.[F#m][A]
[G]By [E]the light of the sun, [A]murder comes
[Bm]Today or to[E]night
Better [C#m]get yourself and [A]transcend it,
Or burst of [D]light
Blaze stars in[G]to [C]me,
While [G]the [F]love breaks through
here and [G]now.[E]
[Em]So, [C]murder by the light
of the sun[G].[F#sus4][G]
[F#m]Please [G]don't get too
close [F#m]to me.[G][F#m]
[G]You said you are for rea[F#m]l,
[G]it's [F#m]not pretend.[G]
All memor[F#m]ies st[G]olen,
know this for yourself.
[F#m]How wo[G]uld you like to b[F#m]e the ha[G]ppi[A]
[F#m]est man in the wo[G]rld?[A]
[G]Behind the [F#m]weathered [G]field hand[A]s,
[G]whose blistered
Paws
Harvest [A]cut, [G]for wedding [F#m]clothes
[G]they'll never [Em]wear,
[G]Marching down [F#m]a road [G]that was never there.
It takes place on a sunlit face
and the back[D]bone [G]broken.[A][G][D][G]
[A]Please bri[Em]ng us lig[A]ht, Dem[G]on [C]John,
[G]you Dem[C]on Joh[F#m]n.
Take him with [F#]you [G]when y[C#dim]ou go.
