(verse 1)
Eb      Bb                     Eb
  The Devil came from Kansas
          Bb                  Eb
Where he went to I can't say
      Ab                          Eb
Though I teach I'm not a preacher
      Ab                    Eb
And I aim to stay that way
           Bb                  Eb
There's a monkey riding on my back
      Bb                  Eb
Been there for some time
    Ab                    Cm
He says he knows me very well
     Fm                Ab   Eb
But he's no friend of mine

(chorus)
Bb                 Eb
I am not a humble pilgrim
            Ab       Ab7        Db
There's no need to scrape and squeeze
          Gb  Ab             Bb
And don't beg    for silver paper
          F        Ab            Eb
When I'm trying to    sell you cheese

( Bb Eb Ab  Eb)

(verse 2)
The Devil came from Kansas
Where he went to I can't say
If you really are my brother
Then you better start to pray
For the sins of those departed
And the ones about to go
There's a dark cloud just above us
Don't scowl because I know

(repeat chorus)

(guitar solo) Bb Eb Bb  Eb  (3x)
              Ab Eb Bb
(drum fill)

(verse 3)
Though I never came from Kansas
Don't forget to thank the cook
Which reminds me of my duty
I was lost though now I look
For the turning and the signpost
And the road which takes you down
To that pool inside the forest
In whose waters I shall drown

(repeat chorus)

(coda)
