[G]
I took myself down to the Tally Ho Tavern [C] to buy me a bottle [G] of beer.

[G] And as I was searching from bottle to bottle [C] for something on foolish [G] to say,
[C] that silver-tongued devil [G] just slipped from [E] the shadows [D] and smilingly stole her [G] away.
[C] little girl, don't you know [G] he's the devil?
[C] He's everything that [G] I ain't.
[C] Hiding intentions [G] of evil [Em]
