The Silver Tounged Devil And I
Composição de (Kris Kristofferson)
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 

G                                             G7  
Like all the young ladies who've laid down beside him 
  C                                                  G 
She knew in her heart that he lied 
   


C                                                  G                                     Em 
But nothing that I could have said could have saved her 
    C                                            D7 
No matter how hard that I tried 
  G                                    G7 
'Cause she'll offer her soul up to darkness and danger 
   C                                                      G 
Of a world that she's never known 
   C                                       G                        Em 
And open her arms at the smile of a stranger 
  C                D7                                   G 
Who'll love her and leave her alone 

Repeat Chorus
