SONG: Soul Song
(Duke)

[C] as i sat [G] cryin' by the [Am] river
[C] the devil [G] take me by the [Am] hand
[C] the devil [G] says to me
he say [Am] "boy, you gonna need some [F] company"
cuz it's a [C] lone- [G] ly [Am] day

it's gonna be a [C] lonely [G] day
it's gonna be a [Am] lonely [F] day
it's gonna be a [C] lone- [G] ly [Am] day

so i went walkin' by the river
with the devil by my side
i tell him i don't like my part
the devil look at me, he say "you better start
cuz nothin and i do mean nothin in this world is free"

he say "nothin [C] [C] in this [G] [G] [Am] world is [F] free
so boy i think you better learn to walk with me"

"boy you better walk with me
don't you know you got to walk with me"
the devil say "you better learn to walk with me"

so i went walkin' through the river
the devil, well he did good by me
but as i reached the other shore
the angels they stopped singin' lord
and it's gonna be a lonely day

it's gonna be a lonely day
it's gonna be a lonely day
it's gonna be a lonely day

as i lay dyin' by the river
the devil he look down on me
the devil say to me
he say "boy, you shoulda known nothin' come for free"
and it's a lonely day

i tell ya it's a lonely day
it's lonely day
hey baby it's a lonely day

yeah it's a lonely day
i heard the devil say
"it's a lonely day"
