The bass is what makes the groove on this one.  Start with
the open A string, then open low E. hammer-on the 3rd fret
G note, then back to the open A, then up to the C on the A
string.  This is a I, IV, V minor blues progression.

Am                   C  (Dm the second time through)
   Early this morning
Am                C       Am
I heard you knock upon my door
Dm
   Early this morning
Dm                        Am
I heard you knock upon my door
         Em
I said, "Hello, Satan,
Dm                        Am
   I believe it's time to go"

Me and the devil
We were walking side by side
Me and the devil
We were walking side by side
I'm gonna love your woman, Satan
'Til I'm satisfied

She said, "You may know your ways
But I've been dogged around"
"You may know your ways
But I can hear you come to dog me around"
Must be that evil spirit
Way deep down in the ground

You may bury my body
Down by the highwayside
You may bury my body
Down by the highwayside
That way my evil spirit
Can rise up, take a Greyhound bus and ride
