Key: G major
Verse 1
G
I took myself down to the Tally- Ho
C
G
Tavern to buy me a bottle of beer
C
G
Em
I sat me down by a tender young maiden
A
D
whose eyes were as dark as her hair
G
And as I was searchin' from bottle to bottle
C
G
for somethin' unfoolish to say
C
G
That silver tongued devil just slipped from
Em
D
G
the shadows and smilingly stole her away
C
I said hey little girl don't you know he's
G
C
G
the devil he's everything that I ain't
C
G
Em
Hidin' intentions of evil
A
D
under the smile of a saint
C
G
All he's good for is gettin' in trouble
C
G
and shifting his share of the blame
C
G
And some people swear he's my double
Em
A
D
and some even say we're the same
C
But the silver tongued devil's got
G
C
G
nothing to lose I'll only live till I die
C
G
We take our own chances and pay our own
Em
D
G
dues the silver tongued devil and I
Like all the fair maidens who've
laid down beside him
C
She knew in her heart that
G
he'd lied
C
G
But nothing that I could have said
Em
could've saved her
A
D
No matter how hard that she tried
G
Cause she'll offer her soul
to the darkness and danger
C
G
Of something that she's never known
C
G
Em
And open her arms at the smile of a stranger
C
D
G
C
who'll love her and leave her alone
Outro 1
And you know he's the devil...
