Silver Tounged Devil and I
Kris Kristofferson
#From: Glenn Estes <blevy@epix.net>
I t
G
ook myself down to the T
G7
ally Ho Tavern
To
C
buy me a bottle of
G
beer
I
C
sat myself down by a
G
tender young
Em
maiden
Who's
C
eyes were as dark as her
D7
hair
And
G
while I was searching from
G7
bottle to bottle
For
C
something un-foolish to
G
say
That
C
silver tounged devil just
G
slipped from the
Em
shadows
And
C
smilingly
D7
stole her
G
away
Chorus
I said
C
girl don't you know he's a
G
devil
C
He's everything that I
G
ain't
C
Hiding intentions of
G
evil
Em
under the
C
smile of a
D7
saint
All he's
C
good for is getting in
G
trouble
And
C
slipping his share of the
G
blame
And
C
some people swear he's my
G
double
And
C
some even say we're the
D7
same
But the
C
silver-tounged devil's got
G
nothing to lose
And
C
I'll only live 'till I
G
die
We
C
take our own chances and
G
pay our own
Em
dues
The
C
silver tounged
D7
devil and
G
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
Speed
