The Silver Tounged Devil And I

(início)

   G             G7
I took myself down to the Tally Ho Tavern
  C                      G
To buy me a bottle of beer
  C                G                       Em
I sat myself down by a tender young maiden
  C                D7
Who's eyes were as dark as her hair
  G                 G7
And while I was searching from bottle to bottle
  C              G
For something un-foolish to say
  C                         G                           Em
That silver tounged devil just slipped from the shadows
  C              D7      G
And smilingly stole her away
         C                                     G
Chorus: I said girl don't you know he's a devil
        C                          G
        He's everything that I ain't
        C               G    Em      C               D7
        Hiding intentions of evil under the smile of a saint
              C                                 G
        All he's good for is getting in trouble
          C                                 G
        And slipping his share of the blame
          C                                  G
        And some people swear he's my double
          C                            D7
        And some even say we're the same
             C                                             G
        But the silver-tounged devil's got nothing to lose
          C                           G
        And I'll only live 'till I die
         C                           G               Em
        We take our own chances and pay our own dues
          C                     D7     G
        The silver tounged devil and I
G                              G7
Like all the young ladies who've laid down beside him
 C                                 G
She knew in her heart that he lied
C                                 G                     Em
But nothing that I could have said could have saved her
  C                             D7
No matter how hard that I tried
  G                        G7
'Cause she'll offer her soul up to darkness and danger
 C                                G
Of a world that she's never known
 C                        G                 Em
And open her arms at the smile of a stranger
 C           D7                     G
Who'll love her and leave her alone
Repeat Chorus
