Heaven Help the Devil Gordon Lightfoot
CAPO: 4th Fret
[INTRO:] D C G A D Gmaj7
[VERSE 1:]
[D]In this land of chance, do we know [Gmaj7]right from wrong
[D]Even at a [G]glance, we know the [D]road is long
[A/D]We don't owe a single thing to [D]anyone
Most of us do not believe in [Gmaj7]come-what-may [D]
Everything we [G]fought for was in [D]vain, they say
[A/D]Even when called upon to throw our [D]lives away
[CBORUS:]
We have been [G]captured by the [A]thieves of the [D]night[G]
Held for [D]ransom if you [A]please [D] [A]
[D]Heaven help the [C]Devil
May he [G]have a few un[A]pleasant memo[D]ries[Gmaj7]
[VERSE 2:]
[D]In these times of trial and un[Gmaj7]certainty
[D]I have thought, what [G]does this freedom [D]mean to me
Or [A/D]is it just some long forgotten [D]fantasy
Our love for each other may not [Gmaj7]be explained
[D]We live in a [G]world where tears must [D]fall like rain
But [A/D]most of us don't wish to cause each [D]other pain
[CBORUS:]
We have been [G]captured by the [A]thieves of the [D]night[G]
Held for [D]ransom if you [A]please [D] [A]
[D]Heaven help the [C]Devil
May he [G]have a few un[A]pleasant memo[D]ries[Gmaj7] [D] [Gmaj7]
[VERSE 3:]
To [D]every unsung hero in the [Gmaj7]universe
To [D]those who roam the [G]skies and those who [D]roam the earth
To [A/D]all good men of reason may they [D]never thirst
We have wings to guide us through the [Gmaj7]timeless sea
And [D]faith that will re[G]main through all e[D]ternity
[A/D]We try to be helpful to the [D]ones in need
[CBORUS:]
Yet we have been [G]captured by the [A]thieves of the [D]night [G]
Held for [D]ransom if you [A]please [D] [A]
[D]Heaven help the [C]Devil
May he [G]have a few un[A]pleasant memo[D]ries
Heaven help the [C]Devil
May he [G]have a few un[A]pleasant memo[D]ries
[OUTRO:] D C G A D
