[Verse]
 
             A
I pull up my blanket
D        A
Up to my ears
      D         A
In an old Irish prison
D            A
Stained with tears
    D            A
I'm trapped in a jail cell
D         A
Black and grey
            E
But I ain't afraid man
             A
So see that I leave
    D            A
But I ain't been locked here
D            A
More than my crime
D             A
He used to be walking
D                A
With faith by my side
D          A
I went and lost it
D                A
On a warm summer night
                 E
The night that I saw him
                      A
With the Devil's blue eyes

[Verse 2]
 
    D       A
See I was a good man
  D          A
A long time ago
D                     A
Born and raised in surreals
D       A
New Mexico
    D       A
See I had a mother
D              A
Sweet as could be
                       E
She said son don't you follow
                 A
Your daddy's bad ways
   D         A
So I found a woman
D          A
She was my wife
D         A
We made a living
      D         A
And a beautiful child
D            A
Damn we were happy
     D         A
With plenty of cash
            E
But then my sweet lord
         A
Took my babies and left
    D          A
See I was just walking
     D           A
On a cold winter eve
         D     A
Took the train home then
    D           A
And took out my keys
  D          A
Unlocked the front door
D       A
Only to find
               R
My wife and my babies
                      A
And the blood had run dry
   D              A
He raped them and shot them
    D                 A
And shot them through twice
  D                    A
I screamed through the ceiling
    D               A
And ran through the house
  D            A
I saw his face covered
         D           A
With the blood of my wife
              E
That's when I saw him
                      A
With the Devil's blue eyes
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
      D            A
And before I could catch him
D         A
He had escaped
  D         A
I got on my knees
      D          A
And I started to pray
       D            A
I said what have we done here
     D        A
To deserve such pain
                    E
Sweet lord you're a liar
                    A
And I'm alone once again
     D        A
Lord if I may ask you
    D          A
For one simple thing
    D             A
I'd pray that I'd find him
D             A
You did these deeds
    D             A
I'd kill that man slowly
      D         A
So he no longer breathes
               E
Oh and if I am hell bound
               A
Then so let it be

[Verse 4]
 
     D        A
Some 40 years later
      D       A
I was barely alive
D              A
Travelling the world
       D           A
With revenge by my side
      D               A
I was passing through Dublin
     D        A
On a carnival ride
                  E
And that's when I saw him
                      A
With the Devil's blue eyes
 
 
[Verse 5]
 
   D          A
It took me a moment
   D        A
To round supplies
     D             A
So I pulled out my black gun
      D                A
And I shot him through twice
   D               A
He fell down quite slowly
     D            A
No resistance or tears
                E
He looked in to my eyes
                A
And then it was clear
     D                 A
As I watched him there dying
  D               A
A thought came to mind
     D          A
What good had I done here
    D          A
I'd taken his life
    D            A
His blood run across me
    D                A
And soaked me through right
           E
Then I'd become
                 A
The Devil's blue eyes

[Verse 6]
 
     D          A
So I pull up my blanket
D        A
Up to my ears
      D          A
In an old Irish prison
D            A
Stained with tears
    D                  A
And although I've done wrong
    D           A
And cursed the skies
              E
So now I will die here
                      A
With the Devil's blue eyes
