Verse 1
G
I took myself down to the Tally Ho Tavern
C
G
To buy me a bottle of beer
C
G
Em
And I sat me down by a tender young maiden
A
D
Who's eyes were as dark as her hair
G
And as I was searching from bottle to bottle
C
G
For something un-foolish to say
C
That silver-tongued devil
G
Em
just slipped from the shadows
D
G
And smilingly stole her away

Chorus 1
C
I said: "Hey, little girl,
G
don't you know he's the devil?"
C
G
He's everything that I ain't
C
G
Em
Hiding intentions of evil
A
D
Under the smile of a saint
C
G
All he's good for is getting in trouble
C
G
And shiftin' his share of the blame
C
G
Em
And some people swear he's my double
A
D
And some even say we're the same
C
But the silver-tongued devil's
G
got nothing to lose
C
G
I'll only live 'til I die
C
We take our own chances
G
Em
and pay our own dues
D
G
The silver-tongued devil and I

Verse 2
A
Like all the fair maidens
who've laid down beside him
D
A
She knew in her heart that he'd lied
D
A
Nothin' that I could have said
F#m
could have saved her
B
E
No matter how hard that she tried
A
'Cause she'll offer her charms
to the darkness and danger
D
A
Of somethin' that she's never known
D

And open her arms at the smile of a stranger
E
A
Who'll love her and leave her alone
