5 5 5 5 5 4 5 6 6 6 6 -5
I took myself down to the Tally Ho Tavern,
5 -5 -5 6 -6 6 -5 6
To buy me a bottle of beer.
4 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 6 6 6 -5 5
And I sat me down by a tender young maiden,
4 4 4 4 4 -3 4 -4
Who's eyes were as dark as her hair.
-4 5 5 5 5 -4 4 6 6 6 6 -5
And as I was searching from bottle to bottle,
5 -5 -5 6 -6 6 -5 6
For something un-foolish to say.
6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 6 6 6 6 -5
That silver tongued devil just slipped from the shadows,
5 -4 -4 5 -5 5 -4 4
And smilingly stole her away.
4 -4 5 -4 4 -3"
I said: "Hey, little girl,
4 -3" 4 -4 4 -4 5
don't you know he's the devil.
-3" 4 4 -4 4 -4 5
"He's everything that I ain't.
-3" 4 4 -4 4 4 -4 5
"Hiding intentions of evil,
4 4 4 4 -3 4 -4
"Under the smile of a saint.
6 6 -6 -5 6 -6 6 -5 6 6
"All he's good for is getting in trouble,
6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 6
"And shiftin' his share of the blame.
6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 6 6
"And some people swear he's my double:
6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -6 -7
"And some even say we're the same.
-7 -7 7 7 7 7 -7 -6 6 6 -6 6
"But the silver-tongued devil's got nothing to lose,
4 -6 -6 -7 7 -7 -6 6
"and I'll only live 'til I die.
-7 7 -6 -7 7 -7 -6 6 6 -6 5
"We take our own chances and pay our own dues,
5 -4 -4 5 -5 5 -4 4
"The silver tongued devil and I."
5 5 5 5 5 4 5 6 6 6 6 -5
Like all the fair maidens who've laid down beside him,
5 -5 -5 6 -6 6 -5 6
She knew in her heart that he'd lied.
-6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 6 6 6 -5 5
Nothin' that I could have said could have saved her,
4 4 4 4 4 -3 4 -4
No matter how hard that she tried.
6 -5 5 5 5 5 -4 4 6 6 6 6 -5
'Cos she'll offer her charms to the darkness and danger,
5 -5 -5 6 -6 6 -5 6
Of somethin' that she's never known.
6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 6 6 6 6 -5
And open her arms at the smile of a stranger,
5 -4 -4 5 -5 5 -4 4
Who'll love her and leave her alone.
4 -3" 4 -4 4 -4 5
And you know, he's the devil.
-3" 4 4 -4 4 -4 5
He's everything that I ain't.
-3" 4 4 -4 4 4 -4 5
Hiding intentions of evil,
4 4 4 4 -3 4 -4
Under the smile of a saint.
6 6 -6 -5 6 -6 6 -5 6 6
All he's good for is getting in trouble,
6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 6
And shiftin' his share of the blame.
6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 6 6
And some people swear he's my double:
6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -6 -7
And some even say we're the same.
-7 -7 7 7 7 7 -7 -6 6 6 -6 6
But the silver-tongued devil's got nothing to lose,
4 -6 -6 -7 7 -7 -6 6
And I'll only live 'til I die.
-7 7 -6 -7 7 -7 -6 6 6 -6 5
We take our own chances and pay our own dues,
5 -4 -4 5 -5 5 -4 4
The silver tongued devil and I. |
