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 Submitted by Allan Hurd magicspydermusic?
