Of course, the reason those sidewalks are so lonesome on Sunday morning in Nashville
anyway is they close all the bars.
But come sundown, [G] I took myself down the Tally Ho Tavern, [C] buy me a bottle [G] of beer.
[C] I sat me down by [G] a tender [Em] young maiden [A] whose eyes were as soft [D] as her hair.
And [G] as I was searching bottle to bottle [C] for something un-foolish [G] to say,
[C] that silver-tongued devil [G] just slipped [E] from the shadows [D] and smilingly stole her [G] away.
I said, [C] hey, little girl, don't you know [G] he's the devil?
[C] He's everything [G] that I ain't.
[C]
[G] Intentions of evil [E]
intentions [A] under the smile [D] of a saint.
[C] All he's good for is getting [G] in trouble,
[C] shifting his share [G] of the blame.
[C] Some people swear [G] he's my devil, [E]
[A] and some even say [D] we're the same.
But [C] the silver-tongued [G] devil's got nothing to lose.
[C] I'll only live till [G] I die.
[C] We take our own chances [G] and pay our [Em] own.
I was singing that song at home one day, and [N] my youngest son, who was five years old at the time,
said, that's not a good song.
I said, oh, how come?
And he says, because you're blaming all your own mistakes on somebody else.
[D]
But he's come to realize we're pretty tight, the silver-tongued devil [G] and I.
Thank you.
