Silver Tongued Devil And I

I[G] took myself down to the [G7]Tally Ho Tavern

T[C]o buy me a bottle of[G] beer

I[C] sat myself down by a [G]tender young m[Em]aiden

W[C]ho's eyes were as dark as [D7]her hair

A[G]nd while I was searching fro[G7]m bottle to bottle

F[C]or something un-foolish t[G]o say

T[C]hat silver tounged devil ju[G]st slipped from th[Em]e shadows

A[C]nd smilingl[D7]y stole her[G] away

 [C]                           [G]

I said girl don't you know he's a devil

 [C]       He's everything t[G]hat I ain't

 [C]       Hiding intentio[G]ns of [Em]evil under [C]the smile of[D7] a saint

 [C]       All he's good for[G] is getting in trouble

 [C]       And slipping his sha[G]re of the blame

 [C]       And some people swea[G]r he's my double

 [C]       And some even say [D7]we're the same

 [C]       But the silver-tounge[G]d devil's got nothing to lose

 [C]       And I'll only liv[G]e 'till I die

 [C]       We take our own cha[G]nces and pay [Em]our own dues

 [C]       The silve[D7]r tounged d[G]evil 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
