The Silver Tongued Devil And I Chords by Kris Kristofferson

[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ I took myself _ down to the Tally Ho Tavern [Db] to buy me a bottle [Ab] of beer. _ _
_ _ [Db] I sat me down by [Ab] a tender [Fm] young laden [Bb] whose eyes were as dark as [Eb] her hair. _ _
_ [Ab] And as I was searching from bottle to bottle [Db] for something un-foolish [Ab] to say, _ _
_ [Db] that silver-tongued devil [Ab] just slipped from [Fm] the shadows [Eb] and smiling stole her [Ab] away.
I said, hey [Db] little girl, don't you know [Ab] he's the devil? _ _
_ _ [Db] He's everything that [Ab] I _ ain't.
_ _ [Db] Hiding _ intentions [Ab] of evil _ [Fm] _
under [Bb] _ the smile of [Eb] a saint. _ _
[Db] All he's good for is getting [Ab] in trouble, _ _
_ _ [Db] shipping his share of the [Ab] blame. _ _
And [Db] some people swear he's [Ab] my devil,
_ [Fm] _
and [Bb] some even say [Eb] we're the same. _
But [Db] the silver-tongued [Ab] devil's got nothing to lose.
[Db] I don't live till [Ab] I die. _ _
[Db] We take our own chances, [Ab] pay our [Fm] own dues.
_ _ _ [F] _ _
[Eb] _ The silver-tongued devil [Ab] and I. _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [Bb] Like all the fair _ maidens who've laid down beside him,
[Eb] she knew in her heart that [Bb] he'd lied. _
_ _ [Eb] _ Nothing that I [Bb] could have said [Gm] could have saved her,
[C] no matter how hard that [F] she tried. _
Cause [Bb] she'll offer her charms to the darkness and danger [Eb] of something that she's [Bb] never _ known.
_ [Eb] And open her arms [Bb] at the smile [Gm] of a stranger,
[F] oh lover, _ leave her [Bb] alone. _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ And you know [Bb] he's the devil. _ _
_ _ [Eb] He's everything that [Bb] I _ _ _ ain't.
[Eb] _ Hiding intentions [Bb] of evil _ [Gm] _
_ _ [C] _ under the smile of a [F] saint. _ _
_ [Eb] All he's good for is getting [Bb] in trouble, _
_ [Eb] and shipping his share [Bb] of the blame. _ _
_ [Eb] And some people swear he's [Bb] my devil,
_ [Gm] _
_ [C] and some even say we're [F] the same. _
But [Eb] the silver-tongued devil's [Bb] got nothing to lose.
[Eb] I don't live till [Bb] I die. _
[Eb] We take our own chances, [Bb] pay our [Gm] own dues. _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ The silver-tongued devil [Bb] and I. _
