Devil just bought a brand new

Devil just bought a brand new
C F
Devil just bought a brand new

Penthouse in heaven

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

There goes the good old neighbourhood
Eb C
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!
Chorus (repeat several times)

Penthouse in heaven
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official GOLDEN EARRING tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
