[Verse 1]
Even the devil was an angel [E]before
he tried to rush the throne
[Am]Lord, they threw him down
[D]in hell there all [E]alone
And now [Am]he builds a castle o[E]ut
of the sinners' bones
[Am]You'd be angry [E]too if you could
never [Am]go home

[Verse 2]
Well [E]now, I ain't no preacher,
no preach[Am]er man's [E]son
I done some bad things
but I like [Am]to have my fun
[E]A thousand ways to heaven,
a thou[Am]sand ways to hell
Well [D]I say, the good [E]Lord helps
those that help themselves
So help [Am]yourselves now

[Verse 3]
Old man Nicodemus could [E]not
make his heart believe
[Am]He could see that Jesus had
some trick[D]s up h[E]is sleeve
Said now, [Am]Oh man,
Jesus I can[E]'t do things your way
But I can see you work [Am]with somebody [E]big,
so I'm back[Am]ing your play

[Verse 4]
Old man [E]Nicodemus,
his pockets they were deep
But on the day [Am]the Romans decided
to [D]put Jesus [E]to sleep
Jesus could [Am]not care for money
now [E]or any such thing
Old Nicodemus paid to have Jesus
just [Am]buried like a king

[Verse 5]
Well [E]now, I ain't no preacher,
no preach[Am]er man's [E]son
I done some bad things
but I like [Am]to have my fun
[E]A thousand ways to heaven,
a thou[Am]sand ways to hell
Well I [D]say, the good [E]Lord helps those
that help [Am]themselves[E]
So help [Am]yourselves now
Our father art [E]in heaven

[Verse 6]
hallowed be thy name
[Am]Told Noah "build a boat"
on [D]the driest [E]of days
And everybody in [Am]the neighborhood
said [E]old Noah was insane
I guess [Am]when the waters [E]receded now,
the truth [Am]was plain

[Verse 7]
Well [E]now, I ain't no preacher,
no preach[Am]er man's [E]son
I done some bad things
but I like [Am]to have my fun
[E]A thousand ways to heaven,
a thou[Am]sand ways to hell
Well I [D]say, the good [E]Lord helps
those that help [Am]themselves
[E]So help you[Am]rselves now

[Verse 8]
Moses was a great [E]man,
parted the waters of the Red Sea
Down [Am]the road to Egypt,
he made [E]sure [D]the slaves [E]were free
Well he could [Am]speak to God,
so they [E]say, yes indeed
Well [Am]the noise of [E]his voice would
have made our [Am]poor ears bleed

[Verse 9]
Moses, he had an army [E]I tell
you all his [Am]own
They stood in circles [D]outside
his very [E]home
And when [Am]the the Pharaohs got to
killing they left [E]old moses alone
But [Am]the Romans [E]drove their nails
[Am]through old Jesus' bones

[Verse 10]
Well [E]now, I ain't no preacher,
no preacher [Am]man's [E]son
I done some bad things but I
like [Am]to have my fun
Why they [E]got Jesus now and not Moses,
[Am]who can tell?
But they do [D]say,
the good [E]Lord helps those that help them[Am]selves
[E]So help you[Am]rselves now

[Verse 11]
[Am]- - - This is [E]pre[Am]tty c[D]lose
[E]to [Am]corre[E]ct.
