The Silver Tongued Devil And I

   C                               
I took myself down to the Tally Ho 
C7
Tavern
   F                  C
To buy me a bottle of beer
    F                  C          
And I sat me down by a tender 
  Am
young maiden
     D                   G    G7
Whose eyes as dark as her hair
    C                              
And as I was searching from bottle 
   C7
to bottle
    F                       C
For something un-foolish to say
     F                       
That silver tongued devil just 
C                Am
slipped from the shadows
    G          G7        C
And smiling he stole her away

[Chorus]
        F                       
        I said hey, little girl, 
                         C
don't you know he's the devil
        F                      C
        He's everything that I ain't
        F                    C    
        Hiding intentions of evil,
Am D                    G
   under the smile of a saint
                 F                 
        All he's good for is 
     C
getting in trouble
            F                    
        And shifting his share of 
     C
the blame

            F                      
        And Some people swear he's 
   C
my double
            D                      
        And some even say we're the
 G
 same
                F             
        But the silver-tongued 
             C
devil's got nothing to lose
        F                      C
        I'll only live 'till I die
           F                     C
        We take our own chances, 
           Am
pay our own dues  [pause}
            G              G7

[Verse]
     C                          
Like all the young maidens who'd 
             C7
laid down beside him
    F                           C
She knew in her heart that he'd lied
    F                         C   
But nothing that I could have said
            Am
 could have saved her
   D                        G     G7
No matter how hard that she tried
              C                  
'Cause she'll offer her charms to 
                  C7
the darkness and danger
   F                          C
Of something that she's never known
    F                    C        
And open her arms at the smile of 
  Am
a stranger
       G            G7        C
Who'll love her and leave her alone

[Chorus]
        F                       
        I said hey, little girl, 
                         C
don't you know he's the devil
        F                      C
        He's everything that I ain't
        F                    C    
        Hiding intentions of evil,
Am D                    G
   under the smile of a saint
                 F                 
        All he's good for is 
     C
getting in trouble
            F                    
        And shifting his share of
