[Intro]
|G Gmaj7 G6 G C Cmaj7 C6 C
[Verse 1]
|G Gmaj7 G6 G |C Cmaj7 C6 C
I lit out from Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds.
|G Gmaj7 G6 G |
Didn't get to sleep that night till the
|C Cmaj7 C6 C
morning came around.
[Chorus]
|D
Set out runnin' but I take my time, a
|C
friend of the devil is a friend of mine, if
|D
I get home before daylight, I
|C |Am
just might get some sleep tonight.
[Verse 2]
|G Gmaj7 G6 G |C Cmaj7 C6 C |
Ran in-to the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills,
|G Gmaj7 G6 G |C Cmaj7 C6 C
I spent the night in Utah, in a cave up in the hills.
[Chorus]
|D
Set out runnin' but I take my time, a
|C
friend of the devil is a friend of mine, if
|D
I get home before daylight, I
|C |Am
just might get some sleep tonight.
[Verse 3]
|G Gmaj7 G6 G |C Cmaj7 C6 C |
I ran down to the levee, but the devil caught me there.
|G Gmaj7 G6 G |C Cmaj7 C6 C
He took my twenty dollar bill and vanished in the air.
[Chorus]
|D
Set out runnin' but I take my time, a
|C
friend of the devil is a friend of mine, if
|D
I get home before daylight, I
|C |Am
just might get some sleep tonight.
[Bridge]
|D | |
Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night,
|C |
First one's named sweet Anne Marie, and
|C |
she's my hearts delight.
|D | |
Second one is prison, baby, the sheriff's on my trail, and
|C |Am |D |D7 |
if he catches up with me, I'll spend my life in jail.
[Verse 4]
|G Gmaj7 G6 G |C Cmaj7 C6 C |
Got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee. The
|G Gmaj7 G6 G |
first one says she's got my child, but
|C Cmaj7 C6 C
it don't look like me.
[Chorus]
|D
Set out runnin' but I take my time, a
|C
friend of the devil is a friend of mine, if
|D
I get home before daylight, I
|C |Am
just might get some sleep tonight.
