Friend Of The Devil

Am
I lit out from Reno,
Am
I was trailed by twenty hounds
Am
Didn't get to sleep last night
Am
Till the morning came around

[Chorus]
C6                Em
I set out runnin' but I take my time
Am
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
C6               Em
If I get home before daylight
Am
Just might get some sleep tonight
Am
I just might get some sleep tonight

[Verse 2]
Am
Ran into the devil, babe
Am
He loaned me twenty bills
Am
Spent the night in Utah
Am
In a cave up in the hills

[Chorus]
C6                Em
I set out runnin' but I take my time
Am
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
C6               Em
If I get home before daylight
Am
Just might get some sleep tonight
Am
I just might get some sleep tonight

[Verse 3]
Am
I ran down to the levee
Am
But the devil caught me there
Am
He took my twenty dollar bill
Am
And he vanished in the air

[Chorus]
C6                Em
I set out runnin' but I take my time
Am
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
C6               Em
If I get home before daylight
Am
Just might get some sleep tonight
Am
I just might get some sleep tonight

[Bridge]
D
Got two reasons why I cry
Am               G
away each lonely night
D
First one's named sweet Anne Marie
Am                   G
and she's my heart's delight
D
Second one is prison, babe
Am                       G
and the sheriff's on my trail
D
And if he catches up with me
Am
I'll spend my life in jail

[Verse 4]
Am
Got a wife in chino, babe
Am
and wanting cherokee
Am
First one says she's got my child
Am
but it don't look like me

[Chorus]
C6                Em
I set out runnin' but I take my time
Am
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
C6               Em
If I get home before daylight
Am
Just might get some sleep tonight
Am
I just might get some sleep tonight
