G G7 C Em D7



   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
Whoʼs 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

Chorus:
       C                          G
I said girl donʼt you know heʼs a devil
C                      G
Heʼs everything that I ainʼt
C                    G    Em        C          D7
Hiding intentions of evil under the smile of a saint
         C                      G
All heʼs good for is getting in trouble
    C                         G
And slipping his share of the blame
    C                         G
And some people swear heʼs my double
    C                       D7
And some even say weʼre the same
        C                          G
But the silver-tounged devilʼs got nothing to lose
    C                      G
And Iʼll only live ʼtill 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 whoʼve 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
ʼCause sheʼll offer her soul up to darkness and danger
Of a world that sheʼs never known
And open her arms at the smile of a stranger
Whoʼll love her and leave her alone

Chorus.
