Get Thee Behind Me Satan
Billy Joe Shaver
Chorus
A
Get thee behind me Satan
D A E
For I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, of Nazareth
A
Get thee behind me Satan
D A E A
For I command it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ
A D
I looked into the mirror and I couldn't see myself
A E
The demons that were in me had turned me wrong side out
A D
I knew inside my soul I was headed straight for hell
A E A
But I couldn't for my life figure how to help myself
(Repeat Chorus)
A D
The moon and stars were hidden by the shroud that clouded 'round
A E
I could see my loved ones weeping as they lowered me in the ground
A D
No word was spoken over me I almost thought I died
A E A
Then I knew I wasn't dead I had been buried alive
(Repeat Chorus)
A D
I couldn't see my hand in front of my face
A E
I knew that I was buried in the deepest darkest place
A D
The deeds that I had done put me in this awful place
A E A
Then I felt the stir inside me and the smoke came 'cross my face.
(Repeat Chorus)
