Before The Devil Knows We're Dead chords by Turnpike Troubadours


Turnpike Troubadours Chords

(in the neighborhood of Am)


verse 1:
C        G      Am 
He was pushing eighty 
         C     G     Am
but he acted twenty two
      F             C         
he could laugh and drink 
                G                 Am
just like his grandchildren could do
             C       G       Am
There was square hay on the meadow
          C       G    Am
second cutting of the year
           F              C
well his summer work was over
           G                Am  
when they got the pasture clear
              C        G     Am
they were drinking on the big bluff
            C      G      Am
cross the river from the field 
 F                     C
well he walked up the edge 
           G           Am   
threw a stone and he kneeled 
         C         G       Am
And he looked down at the water
      C       G    Am                               
said boys im going in
             F                C
they were cheering when he jumped
           G            Am      
but he did not come up again


chorus:
      F              C          
Well raise another round boys
      G            Am          
and have another glass
      F            C             
be thankful for today
         G             Am             
knowing it will never last
           F                C      
and lets leave the world laughing 
           G           Am
when our eulogies are read
         F           C
may we all get to heaven 
             G               Am
before the devil knows were dead
        F           C            
may we all get to heaven
             G               Am     
before the devil knows were dead.

break: 

verse 2
Am            C      G      Am             
Well it was twenty after midnight.
                C     G     Am                                      
And they were going eighty five
          F               C
she was barely out of highschool
      G           Am
wasn't bad to feel alive.
        C         G        Am
just a two lane piece of blacktop
     C      G       Am
a snakey stretch of road.
           F                     C         
well the wind blew through the wing vents
         G                  Am
it was clear and fresh and cold.
            F                 C 
well the driver killed the headlights
        G                Am          
and he put the throttle down.
           F                  C               
when they hit the railroad crossin 
            G                  Am
they were five feet off the ground
          C        G          Am    
just a screamin through the midnight
Am                             
till they came down again
           F                 C
when the front tire hit the bar-ditch
           G       Am
they went end over end


chorus:
      F              C          
Well raise another round boys
      G            Am          
and have another glass
      F            C             
be thankful for today
         G             Am             
knowing it will never last
           F                C      
and lets leave the world laughing 
           G           Am
when our eulogies are read
         F           C
may we all get to heaven 
             G               Am
before the devil knows were dead
        F           C            
may we all get to heaven
             G               Am     
before the devil knows were dead.

before the devil knows were dead.
