(verse 1)
Eb5      Bb5                     Eb5
  The Devil came from Kansas
          Bb5                  Eb5
Where he went to I can't say
      Ab5                          Eb5
Though I teach I'm not a preacher
      Ab5                    Eb5
And I aim to stay that way
           Bb5                  Eb5
There's a monkey riding on my back
      Bb5                  Eb5
Been there for some time
    Ab5                    C5
He says he knows me very well
     F5                Ab5   Eb5
But he's no friend of mine

(chorus)
Bb5                 Eb5
I am not a humble pilgrim
            Ab5       Ab5        Db5
There's no need to scrape and squeeze
          Gb5  Ab5             Bb5
And don't beg    for silver paper
          F5        Ab5            Eb5
When I'm trying to    sell you cheese

( Bb5 Eb5 Ab5  Eb5 )

(verse 2)
The Devil came from Kansas
Where he went to I can't say
If you really are my brother
Then you better start to pray
For the sins of those departed
And the ones about to go
There's a dark cloud just above us
Don't scowl because I know

(repeat chorus)

(guitar solo) Bb5 Eb5 Bb5  Eb5  (3x)
              Ab5 Eb5 Bb5
(drum fill)

(verse 3)
Though I never came from Kansas
Don't forget to thank the cook
Which reminds me of my duty
I was lost though now I look
For the turning and the signpost
And the road which takes you down
To that pool inside the forest
In whose waters I shall drown

(repeat chorus)

(coda) 
(guitar solo)
(repeat to fade)
