A country godpel song that really rolls along
country gospel
Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!

Lyrics
AA 12 Shame the Devil DG DDE A DG F#mG ADD Tell the truth and shame the devil Just like your mother said Tell the truth and shame the devil Get on your knees and pray before you go to bed Tell the truth and shame the devil You know it's for the best Tell the truth and shame the devil That's the test GDEm GA GDEDGEA A7 You got money you got riches you got power in your grasp But will you still get into heaven that's what you need to ask All the people that you cheated as you climbed that greasy poll There's a weight and there's a trouble there's a burden on your soul You're successful you are famous you sit high upon the tree You're a winner you're the king you're as contented as can be Will you still be sitting smiling when the reaper comes to call When you sins start weighing heavy and your star starts to fall
