Dm                  A
The old devils are at it again
                        Dm
Who knows what they'll do
         Dm                      A
And it's true right now like it was back then
                    Dm
The old devils are at it again

( Dm )

      Dm                     A
From behind these bars the view don't change
                       Dm
Desperation, death and despair
      Dm                       A
From what little I hear of the outside world
                                 Dm
Well it's not too different out there

          Dm
And they tell me there's a war without no end
                    A
The old devils are at it again
       A
They die by the millions, children, women and men
                   Dm
The old devils are at it again

( Dm  A  A7M(5+)/F  A  Dm )

    Dm                  A
When I say devils, you know who I mean
                      Dm
These animals in the dark
Dm                          A
Malicious politicians with nefarious schemes
                        Dm
Charlatans and crooked cops

    Dm
The moonshine still gives you five to ten
                   A
The old devils are at it again
A
Stripes on your back and a ball and chain
                   Dm
The old devils are at it again

( Dm  A A7M(5+)/F A  Dm )

Dm                    A
Two men stare out of prison bars
                       Dm
Wondering what got'em here
Dm                   A
One saw mud but the other saw stars
                         Dm
Praying that the end is near

   Dm
The billboard outside says "confess your sins"
                   A
The old devils are at it again
   A
I guess I will confess that I've been suffering
                   Dm
The old devils are at it again

[Estribillo]

Dm                  A
The old devils are at it again
                        Dm
Who knows what they'll do
         Dm                      A
And it's true right now like it was back then
                    Dm
The old devils are at it again

            A              Dm
I said the old devils are at it again, ooh oh
