The Silver Tongued Devil and I Chords by Kris Kristofferson

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
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 young [Fm] maiden [Bb] whose eyes were as dark [Eb] as her hair. _ _ _
[Ab] And as I was searching from bottle to bottle [Db] for something _ unfoolish [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.
_ _ All [Db] he's good for is getting [Ab] in trouble _ _ and [Db] shifting his share of [Ab] the blame. _ _ _
[Db] And some people swear he's [Ab] my devil, _ [Fm] _ and [Bb] some even say we're the [Eb] same.
_ But [Db] the silver-tongued devil's got [Ab] nothing to lose. _
[Db] I'll only live till I _ die.
_ We [Db] take our own chances, [Ab] pay our own [Fm] _ dues.
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] The silver-tongued devil [Ab] and I. _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
[Bb] Like all the fair maidens who laid down beside [Eb] him, she knew in her heart that [Bb] he'd lied. _ _ _
[Eb] _ Nothing that I [Bb] could have said could have [Gm] saved her, [C] no matter how hard that [F] she tried. _ _
[Bb] Because 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 of a stranger, [F] oh lover, _ leave her [Bb] alone. _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ And you know [Bb] he's the devil. _ _ _ _
[Eb] He's everything that I [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Eb] ain't.
Hiding intentions [Bb] of evil _ _ _ [C] under _ the smile of a [F] saint. _ _
[Eb] All he's good for is getting [Bb] in trouble _ _ [Eb] and shifting his share [Bb] of the blame. _ _
[Eb] And some people swear he's [Bb] my devil, _ _ _ [C] and some even say we're [F] the _ same.
But [Eb] the silver-tongued devil's [Bb] got nothing to lose. _
I'll only live till [Bb] I die.
_ _ We [Eb] take our own chances, [Bb] pay our own [Gm] dues. _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] The silver-tongued devil [Bb] and I.
