Nightwatchman: The King of Hell

CAPO I
Em C Am G D/F# Em 

1. Em 
Release from reason, 
C 
alive with pain

Am 
The act is changed, the play's the 
Em 
same

As Em 
he and his ministers conversed, I peaked 
C 
out from behind the well

And Am 
oh how I surprised to learn, the devil'
Em 
s not the king of hell


R: Em 
The devil is not the king of hell, the devil is not the king of hell

C 
violent dance of slippery stones, the 
Am 
lines gone dead we're all alone

The G 
devil is not the 
D/F# 
king of 
Em 
hell


2. Smellin' victory, the engine hums
Of in the distance, they beat the drums
Amidst the blood and rubble I look for souvenirs to sell
And oh how I surprised to learn, the devil's not the king of hell

R: The devil is not the king of hell…

*: /: Oh Em 
black was the mark, black was the mark, black was the mark, laid on Cain

C 
Black was the list, black was the list, black was the 
Am 
list, with our names :/


R: The devil is not the king of hell…

3. Tonight I'm gonna do something's, that I've never done before
I'm gonna find out what's the screamin's about on the other side of that door
So don't you bother callin' there ain't nobody home
Sometimes we got to stand together, sometimes alone

R: The devil is not the king of hell, the devil is not the king of hell
A violent dance of slippery stones, the lines gone dead we're all alone
The devil is not the king of hell, the devil is not the king of hell
A violent dance of slippery stones, The lines gone dead

*2: The Em 
lines gone dead, the lines gone dead

The C 
lines gone dead, the 
Am 
lines gone dead

The G 
devil is not the 
D/F# 
king of 
Em 
hell
