G5                       G5 
I took myself down to the Tally Ho Tavern 
   C5                                   G5 
To buy me a bottle of beer 
  C5                           G5                                      E5 
I sat myself down by a tender young maiden 
      C5                        D5 
Who's eyes were as dark as her hair 
    G5                          G5 
And while I was searching from bottle to bottle 
    C5                       G5 
For something un-foolish to say 
     C5                                    G5                                              E5 
That silver tounged devil just slipped from the shadows 
    C5                    D5        G5 
And smilingly stole her away 
               C5                                                      G5  
Chorus: I said girl don't you know he's a devil 
        C5                                      G5  
        He's everything that I ain't 
        C5                      G5    E5        C5                     D5 
        Hiding intentions of evil under the smile of a saint 
                 C5                                              G5  
        All he's good for is getting in trouble 
            C5                                                     G5  
        And slipping his share of the blame 
            C5                                                              G5  
        And some people swear he's my double 
            C5                                                D5 
        And some even say we're the same 
                C5                                                                         G5 
        But the silver-tounged devil's got nothing to lose 
            C5                               G5 
        And I'll only live 'till I die 
           C5                                              G5                            E5 
        We take our own chances and pay our own dues 
            C5                               D5        G5 
        The silver tounged devil and I 
G5                                             G5  
Like all the young ladies who've laid down beside him 
  C5                                                  G5 
She knew in her heart that he lied 
   

C5                                                  G5                                     E5 
But nothing that I could have said could have saved her 
    C5                                            D5 
No matter how hard that I tried 
  G5                                    G5 
'Cause she'll offer her soul up to darkness and danger 
   C5                                                      G5 
Of a world that she's never known 
   C5                                       G5                        E5 
And open her arms at the smile of a stranger 
  C5                D5                                   G5 
Who'll love her and leave her alone 

Repeat Chorus
