Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 The devil  sent an angel  to do  his dirty work
 He set  the deal up from  my soul
 And then  I set  on her
 I woke  up half my nightmares
 And I put  to shame the guards
 Who were screaming  in the courtyard
 And chocking on  the far
 I left the angel smoking
 Decaying intop Ash
 The clothes I was now wearing
 Were smouldering with flesh
 I strolled into the village
 With cripples as my stilts
 To sell my blood as poisened wine
 My sperm as sourest milk
 The sherif told the centuries to open up the gates
 They'd heard it on the grapevine
 That I was the new face
 So I strung up all their women
 And I hung them from the walls
 As I read to them the sermon
 From the daddy of them all
 I'm a big bad motherfucker
 And I motherfucking hurt
 But I never fucked no brother
 That didn't try to fuck me first
 And you may not feel the screws
 That I will hammer through your skull
 But you'll flood your brains with evil
 When I give those screws a pull
 The fury in the fire
 That I left in my wake
 Has been fueling my desire
 Since way back in the day
 And it may not burn forever
 But who says forever comes
 In a world where the four fingers
 All share the same thumb
 An eyeball of adventure
 And the sharpest teeth of fate
 Couldn't show me how to change my ways
 Or cut me into the right shape
 For I was scattered when I died
 And I was sown before I was born
 And the man who sells the carrot seeds
 Is dancing on your lawn
 And he's reading you the sermon
 From the daddy of them all
 I'm a big bad motherfucker
 And I motherfucking hurt
 But I never fucked no brother
 That didn't try to fuck me first
 And I don't need no hoes visa
 To get inside of her accounts
 But you can bet the cheque I gave to her
 Wouldn't motherfucking bounce
 So I sat down by the river
 Contemplating diving in
 But I was always a good swimmer
 So I scarificed the wind
 And I sharpened up my nails
 And I filed my knuckles down
 It was just about the right time
 That my friend was due around
 He'd have heard of all the stories
 Of my actions so grotesque
 But they couldn't be described
 But he wouldn't be impressed
 So I cower in my shadow
 And I truely hope he'll call
 Thats why I only hear the laughing
 Of the daddy of them all
 I'm a big bad motherfucker
 And I motherfucking hurt
 But I never fucked no brother
 That didn't try to fuck me first
 And I've never heard of Jesus
 But I'm sure hes scared of me
 Thats if one of my brothers
 Ain't already tied the fucker to a tree
 We are all the scum of insects
 Who feast on shit and dirt
 We drown ourselves with piss and blood
 To generate a thirst
 And why the sky surrounds us
 We will never be alone
 Digging at the roots of evil
 Awaiting Mr Crow
