Satan’s Jewel Crown

Emmylou Harris

Written by Edgar Edens

Key of E · Chords: I IV V

Verse 1

If I could be king or a ruler of nations
     A                   E
With diamonds and jewels profound
           B               E
I’d rather know that I had salvation
Then to know my reward was Satan’s jewel crown

Chorus

              B                  E
Satan’s jewel crown I’ve worn it so long
    A                   E
But God for my soul has reached down
His love set me free He made me his own
And helped me cast off Satan’s jewel crown

Verse 2

               B             E
This life that I’ve lived so sinful and evil
         A   E
Drinking and running around
                      B                   E
All the things that I do, for the love of the devil
I know my reward is Satan’s jewel crown
