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
