THE SILVER TOUNGED DEVIL AND I - Kris Kristoferson

G G7
I took myself down to the Tally Ho Tavern
C G
To buy me a bottle of beer
C G Em
I sat myself down by a tender young maiden
C D7
Who`s eyes were as dark as her hair
G G7
And while I was searching from bottle to bottle
C G
For something un-foolish to say
C G Em
That silver tounged devil just slipped from the shadows
C D7 G
And smilingly stole her away
C G
chorus: I said girl don`t you know he`s a devil
C G
He`s everything that I ain`t
C G Em C D7
Hiding intentions of evil under the smile of a saint
C G
All he`s good for is getting in trouble
C G
And slipping his share of the blame
C G
And some people swear he`s my double
C D7
And some even say we`re the same
C G
But the silver-tounged devil`s got nothing to lose
C G
And I`ll only live `till I die
C G Em
We take our own chances and pay our own dues
C D7 G
The silver tounged devil and I


Like all the young ladies who`ve laid down beside him
She knew in her heart that he lied
But nothing that I could have said could have saved her
No matter how hard that I tried
`Cause she`ll offer her soul up to darkness and danger
Of a world that she`s never known
And open her arms at the smile of a stranger
Who`ll love her and leave her alone

Repeat chorus
