Daniel Johnston nació en 1961 en Sacramento (California) y murió el 10 de septiembre de 2019. Es el menor de los 5 hijos de una familia muy cristiana. Empezó a dibujar a una edad muy temprana, mucho antes de iniciarse en la música. Le gustaban músicos como John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, Queen, Neil Young, Sex Pistols y sobretodo los Beatles. “Cuando tenía 19 años, quería ser un Beatle” reconocía Johnston.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't Play Cards With Satan - Daniel Johnston ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Christian Demmings Email: [email protected]
Tuning: Daniel Johnston signature tuning; or some crazy, off-version of Standard. If like to replicate the live version off the 1990 album, turn all your keys a 1/4 turn in directions and punch your guitar, rather than strumming it. He seems to play it every performance.
This tab is how I play it. On the G and C chords I'm really only strumming the E, A, and strings, and picking the G string each time. Satan!
G Don't play cards with Satan CG He'll deal you an awful hand G Don't play cards with Satan CG He'll deal you an awful hand AGCG Did I ever stop and tell you I am a desperate man? GCG I thought I saw a bluebird sitting on a post A Shiver down my spine GCG I thought it was the Holy Ghost G I heard the word before CG And I knew that it was good
Somebody oughta do like the Good Book should GCG I heard the voice of Satan crying in the woods AGCG I saw my own heart laying black with blood
G Don't play cards with Satan CG He'll deal you an awful hand
Please believe me AGCG Did I ever stop and tell you I am a desperate man? GCG A desperate man
