[Verse 1]
Em D
Seven sisters on the ridge
Em
Feathers in their hair
D
Seven sisters on the run
Em
From a grizzly bear
D
Said the eldest to her kin
Em
"I see the devil's eyes
D
In the beast that's closing in
Em
And the devil spares no life"
[Chorus]
C D Em
Devil, devil on my heels, hell ain't far behind
C D Em
Heaven, Heaven, come on down and save our souls from fire
C D Em
Seven prayers are calling out in their final hour
Am B Em
Seven sisters never came down from up on Devils Tower
[Verse 2]
Em D
Said the youngest, "Follow me
Em
I know a place to hide
D
There's holy ground beyond those trees
Em
Where I've seen angels fly"
D
Seven sisters reached the rock
Em
The rock began to rise
D
But that devil bear, he laughed at God
G D Em
'Cause claws are made to climb
[Chorus]
C D Em
Devil, devil on my heels, hell ain't far behind
C D Em
Heaven, Heaven, come on down and save our souls from fire
C D Em
Seven prayers are calling out in their final hour
Am B C
Seven sisters never came down from up on Devils Tower

[Bridge]
Em D
The bear climbed 'til he reached the top
Em
But to his great surprise
D
The sister's were not on the rock
Em
And that's where that bear did die
D
To this day, up on that ridge
Em
You'll see the evil scars
D N.C.
Where God let seven sisters live
Em
Forever in the stars
[Chorus]
C D Em
Devil, devil on my heels, hell ain't far behind
C D Em
Heaven, Heaven, come on down and save our souls from fire
C D Em
Seven prayers are calling out in their final hour
Am B7 Em
Seven sisters never came down from up on Devils Tower
