Verse 1
Em
a gunman wears it when he k!lls
to hide the mortal sin
of shooting down another man
who has no chance to win
many men have seen it
they’ll never see it again
that smiling mask that watched them die
it’s called, the devil’s grinChorus
Fm
the devil’s grin the devil’s grinVerse 2
i’ve worn a star a long long time though it’s not so long in years when you use a gun you count the time and hours in blood and fears my reputation says i’m fast the fastest gun around and that’s why those who break the law don’t hang around my town but looking down and straight at me like a statue carved of stone was the smiling face of an evil man like none i’d ever known he touched his hat politely bid the time of day to me but all the time deep in his eyes i saw taunting me
Chorus 2

the devil’s grinVerse 3
the hackles on my neck stood up for in his eyes i saw that he neither lacked the courage nor the willingness to draw it wasn’t like the times before i’d played this deadly game with some fast reputation or an outlaw with a name this man just hung around the town i watched, he did no wrong inside i knew he’d come for me but when, where, how long? he was clever, he asked questions where there a ranch to buy? he made the people like him with a smile that meant i’d die
Chorus 3

there could only be one end

knowing that i would win

and my face in the mirror

behind the bar, was wearing
