Kris Kristofferson - The silver tongued devil and i

^AbI took myself down to the Tally Ho ^Ab7Tavern ^DbTo buy me a bottle of ^Abbeer ^DbAnd I sat me down by a ^Abtender young ^Fmmaiden ^BbWho's eyes were as dark as her ^Ebhair ^AbAnd as I was searching from bottle to bottle For ^Dbsomething un-foolish to ^Absay That ^Dbsilver tongued devil just ^Abslipped from the ^Fmshadows And ^Ebsmilingly ^Eb7stole her ^Abaway

^Db"He's everything that I ^Abain't ^Db"Hiding intentions of ^Abevil^{Fm Bb}"Under the smile of a ^Ebsaint "All he's ^Dbgood for is getting in ^Abtrouble "And ^Dbshiftin' his share of the ^Abblame "And ^Dbsome people swear he's my ^Abdouble ^Fm "And ^Bbsome even say we're the ^Ebsame "But the ^Dbsilver-tongued devil's got ^Abnothing to lose ^Db"I'll only live 'til I ^Abdie "We ^Dbtake our own chances and ^Abpay our own ^Fmdues
