Get thee behind me Satan, oh boy you better get out of my [Bm] way.
Get thee [B] behind me Satan, I'm gonna [Ebm] fall right down upon my knees [Bb] and pray.
[Bm] Now remember on the last chorus, you've got to come in and do a roll set sort of like,
oh boy you better get out of my way, hey, hey, hey, hey.
And on the last of it, on the last note, you've got to do a roll down and when you start your roll down,
I've got to do it sort of a slide up and it goes to an octave higher and got to do that again.
At the same time, at the same time, now we've got to do that together.
Now Jerry, this thing don't modulate, it stays in B flat all the way through the song
and we've got to keep that right and the tempo's got to sort of stay the same.
Deborah, why don't you come on, let's [B] run through this song.
[Abm] Maybe be sure and keep the tempo, [Bm] it sort of goes like this, hey, hey, hey, hey.
If we don't, we'll lose it right there and that's the whole part of it.
So let's stay together and make the tempo flow just like that and it'll be fine.
Alright.

a guy I pound around with in my [F] former days.
[Bb] He said, man, you're looking fine I [Eb] think, so come on down and let me buy you a [Bb] drink.
I said, I'm [F] not interested man, I done changed my ways.
[Bb] Now I glanced my duck in his muggery [Eb] eyes and he looked at me in a stunned surprise [Bb] and said,
man, what in the world has done [F] happened to you?
[Bb] I said, the blessed Jesus done saved my [Eb] soul, he washed me clean and he made me whole,

[Bb] Till one day I heard an old preacher tell how [Eb] I was going down on the road to hell,
[Bb] believe me brother, [F] it made me see [Eb] the light.
So [Bb] I fell right down on my bended knees, I [Eb] said, Lord, do you hear this sinner's plea?
I [Bb] said, save me Lord, and he did right then [F] and there.

and [Bb] I waved my hand, and I started to heaven with a [F] prayer.
[Bb] This man's been a mean old soul, [Eb] just wash him clean and make him whole.
[Bb] You can hear the [F] angels singing in the air.
[Bb] Now he unrolled his tear-stained eyes, [Eb] and he waved his hands up towards the sky,
[Bb] and he shouted, Hallelujah, I've [F] been saved today.
[Bb] You know, he looked like a man been raised from the dead,
