THE SILVER TOUNGED DEVIL AND I - Kris Kristoferson

   G (320003@1)                     G7I (320001@1)took myself down to the Tally Ho Tavern
   C (x32010@1)                GTo (320003@1)buy me a bottle of beer
  C (x32010@1)                  G (320003@1)          EmI (022000@1)sat myself down by a tender young maiden
      C (x32010@1)                      D7Who's (xx0212@1)eyes were as dark as her hair
    G (320003@1)                        G7And (320001@1)while I was searching from bottle to bottle
    C (x32010@1)                     GFor (320003@1)something un-foolish to say
     C (x32010@1)                       G (320003@1)              EmThat (022000@1)silver tounged devil just slipped from the shadows
    C (x32010@1)       D7 (xx0212@1)      GAnd (320003@1)smilingly stole her away
               C (x32010@1)                        Gchorus: (320003@1)I said girl don't you know he's a devil
        C (x32010@1)                    G (320003@1)       He's everything that I ain't
        C (x32010@1)                  G (320003@1)  Em (022000@1)      C (x32010@1)        D7 (xx0212@1)       Hiding intentions of evil under the smile of a saint
                 C (x32010@1)                    G (320003@1)       All he's good for is getting in trouble
            C (x32010@1)                       G (320003@1)       And slipping his share of the blame
            C (x32010@1)                       G (320003@1)       And some people swear he's my double
            C (x32010@1)                     D7 (xx0212@1)       And some even say we're the same
                C (x32010@1)                        G (320003@1)       But the silver-tounged devil's got nothing to lose
            C (x32010@1)                    G (320003@1)       And I'll only live 'till I die
           C (x32010@1)                      G (320003@1)         Em (022000@1)       We take our own chances and pay our own dues
            C (x32010@1)            D7 (xx0212@1)      G (320003@1)       The silver tounged devil and I


Like all the young ladies who've laid down beside him
She knew in her heart that he lied
But nothing that I could have said could have saved her
No matter how hard that I tried
'Cause she'll offer her soul up to darkness and danger
Of a world that she's never known
And open her arms at the smile of a stranger
Who'll love her and leave her alone

Repeat chorus
