° (b5) ° /6
It's that ole devil called love again
(b5) °
Gets behind me and keeps giving me that shock again
/ /6
Puttin' rain in my eyes, tears in my dreams
And rocks in my heart
° (b5) ° /6
It's that sly ole son of a gun again
(b5) °
He keeps telling me that I'm the lucky one again
/ /6
But I still have that rain, still have those tears
And those rocks in my heart
°
Suppose I didn't stay -- ran away, wouldn't play.
/6 (b5) /6
The devil -- what a potion he would brew!
/9 ° /9
He'd follow me around, build me up, tear me down,
Till I'd be so bewildered, I wouldn't know what to do.
° (b5) ° /6
Might as well give up the fight again
(b5) °
I know darn well he'll convince me that he's right again
(b5) ° /6
When he sings that sorry song, I just gotta tag a - long
With that ole devil called love.
