Verse 1

C               G7                   C
Now if I were a queen and a ruler of nations
F                           C
With diamonds and jewels profound
                G7                 C
Well I'd rather know that I had salvation
                G7                            C
Than to know my reward would be Satan's jewel crown

Verse 2

              G7                    C
Satan's jewel crown I've worn it so long
F                               C
But God for my soul has reached down
                G7                  C
His love set me free he made me His own
                   G7                C
And helped me cast off Satan's jewel crown

Verse 3

                   G7                 C
Oh the life that I live so sinful and needless
F                    C
Drinking and running around
                      G7                     C
All the things that I do for the love of the devil
          G7                           C
I know my reward will be Satan's jewel crown

Verse 4

              G7                    C
Satan's jewel crown I've worn it so long
F                               C
But God for my soul has reached down
                G7                  C
His love set me free He made me His own
                   G7                C
And helped me cast off Satan's jewel crown
