¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
This is a new song off of Great Big Sea's new album "Fortune's Favour".
It's my favorite from the album and I figured it out by ear.
It sounds better with power chords on an electric guitar, but here are the
acoustic chords. I will try and put up an electric tab in the future.
If you have any suggestions/comments just leave a comment in the comment
section and I'll get back to you.
Note that you can replace the C's with Cadd9, but they both sound the same, depending on
picky you are.
Tuning: Standard
[Intro]
G
Love me now while we're alive
C G
It's the best thing we can do
C G
We'll have no time upon cloud nine
A D
So heaven on earth will have to do
G
I can sing like a bird, and dance like a demon
C G
And I do it all so well
C
'Cause I made a deal with the devil
G Em
And when I die
C D G
I'm goin' straight to hell!
[Verse 1]
G
Standin' at the crossroad
C G
He offered wine, women and song
C G
A riches, fame and fortune
A D
In my hands from that day on
G
I was granted there and then
C G
A life of rock & roll
C G
And it seemed like such a bargain
A D
For just one eternal soul
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C
I know I'll curse this damn decision
G
And I'll regret it 'till the moment I fall
A
But I'll be makin' the most of a bad situation
D
Until my number's called
[Chorus]
G
Love me now while we're alive
C G
It's the best thing we can do
C G
Oh we'll have no time upon cloud nine
A D
Heaven on earth will have to do
G
I can sing like a bird, and dance like a demon
C G
And I do it all so well
C
'Cause I made a deal with the devil
G Em
And when I die
C D G
I'm goin' straight to hell!
G Em
Oh yeah!
C D G
I'm goin' straight to hell!
[Verse 2]
G
There's times I swear I've come out on top
C G
In this ill conceived contract
C G
And there's nights I say it's a small price to pay
A D
For the life and times I've had
G
And I think "Here's to the gents and ladies"
C G
And all the foolish times we spent
C G
They cost me afterlife in paradise
A D
And they were worth every single cent
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C
So have a dance with the walkin' 'dam
G
Before my time is done
A
'Cause a deal is a deal and I don't expect
D
Fire and brimstone'll be much fun!
[Chorus]
G
Love me now while we're alive
C G
It's the best thing we can do
C G
Oh we'll have no time upon cloud nine
A D
Heaven on earth will have to do
G
I can sing like a bird, and dance like a demon
C G
And I do it all so well
C
'Cause I made a deal with the devil
G Em
And when I die
C D G
I'm goin' straight to hell!
G Em
Oh yeah!
C D G
I'm goin' straight to hell!
[Pre-bridge]
G
I said straight to hell
Go to hell!
[Bridge]
(Instrumental, chords are the same as the the chorus)
G C G C G D A
G C G C Em
C D G Em C D G
[Verse 3]
G
I have every expectation
C G
That my final prayer will go unheard
C G
And my veiled deathbed confession
D A
Will not move the mighty Lord
G
And I'm sure that I'll be sorry
C G
When he slams St. Peter's gate
C G
But I'll dive right into damnation
A D
With a smile across my face!
[Chorus]
G
Love me now while we're alive
C G
It's the best thing we can do
C G
Oh we'll have no time upon cloud nine
A D
Heaven on earth will have to do
G
I can sing like a bird, and dance like a demon
C G
And I do it all so well
C
'Cause I made a deal with the devil
G Em
And when I die
C D G
I'm goin' straight to hell!
G Em
Oh yeah!
C D G
I'm goin' straight to hell!
