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
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
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!

Penthouse in heaven
                        F
There goes the good old neighbourhood
C                       F
There goes the good old neighbourhood
C                       F
There goes the good old neighbourhood
Eb           F       C
On a one way trip to hell!
