Chorus:
C F
Devil just bought a brand new
C F
Devil just bought a brand new
C F
Devil just bought a brand new
Bb C
Penthouse in heaven
F
There goes the old neighbourhood
C F
There goes the old neighbourhood
C F
There goes the good old neighbourhood
Eb C
On a one way trip to hell! Yeah!
(shake you sinner!, shake you sinner!))
(play intro 4x)
C Bb C
Jesus won’t drive nothing but a shiny white Mercedes
Bb F C
And all the angels gotta settle for second hand oldsmobiles
G F Eb D
The virgin Mary loses faith and starts a chain-reaction
Ab Eb Bb C
The Lord just stands there weepin’ bitter tears in the rain
(play intro 2x)
Ain’t that a shame?
(shake you sinner!, shake you sinner!))
C Bb C
Almost if the bad guys got the good guys on the run
Bb F C
All in the line of expectation in the eyes of the evil one
G F
Like a mad bull chargin’ through a closet
Eb D
of porcelain ‘made in China’
Ab Eb Bb C
Saddlin’ up the righteous with nightmares full of trauma!
Chorus

Moving on down to hell!
Bridge:
Eb
There’s no one here
D
There’s nothing left
Db C
No one here to kiss or bless
Eb D
This damp and dark unholy mess
Db C
You could say: Paradise in Distress!
(play intro 2x)
(shake you sinner!, shake you sinner!))
C Bb
Behind the clouds there’s a silver line
C
The sun just can’t stop waiting
Bb
To put a shine on a clear blue sky
F C
And kill the pessimist in me
Meanwhile…
Eb
There’s no one here
D
There’s nothing left
Db C
No one here to kiss or bless
Eb D
This damp and dark unholy mess
Db C
You could say: Paradise in Distress!
