The Silver Tongued Devil And I Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
I [G]took myself down to the Tally Ho Tavern
To [C]buy me a bottle of [G]beer
And [C]I sat me down by a t[G]ender young m[Em]aiden
Who's [A]eyes were as dark as her [D]hair
And [G]as I was searching from bottle to bottle
For [C]something un-foolish to [G]say
That [C]silver-tongued devil
just [G]slipped from the [Em]shadows
And [D]smilingly stole her a[G]way

[Chorus 1]
I said: "Hey, little [C]girl,
don't you know he's the [G]devil?"
[C]He's everything that I [G]ain't
[C]Hiding intentions of [G]evil[Em]
[A]Under the smile of a [D]saint
All he's [C]good for is getting in [G]trouble
And [C]shiftin' his share of the [G]blame
And [C]some people swear he's my [G]double[Em]
And [A]some even say we're the [D]same
But the [C]silver-tongued devil's
got [G]nothing to lose
[C]I'll only live 'til I [G]die
We [C]take our own chances
and [G]pay our own [Em]dues
The [D]silver-tongued devil and [G]I
[D][D][G][E]

[Verse 2]
Like [A]all the fair maidens
who've laid down beside him
She [D]knew in her heart that he'd [A]lied
[D]Nothin' that I could have [A]said
could have [F#m]saved her
No [B]matter how hard that she [E]tried
'Cause she'll [A]offer her charms
to the darkness and danger
Of [D]somethin' that she's never [A]known
And [D]open her arms at the [A]smile of a [F#m]stranger
Who'll [E]love her and leave her a[A]lone

[Chorus 2]
[D]And you know, he's the dev[A]il
[D]He's everything that I [A]ain't
[D]Hiding intentions of [A]evil[F#m]
[B]Under the smile of a [E]saint
All he's [D]good for is getting in [A]trouble
And [D]shiftin' his share of the [A]blame
And [D]some people swear he's my [A]double[F#m]
And [B]some even say we're the [E]same
But the [D]silver-tongued devil's
got [A]nothing to lose
[D]I'll only live 'til I [A]die
We [D]take our own chances
and [A]pay our own [F#m]dues
The [E]silver-tongued devil and [A]I
[E][E][A][A]
