Version 1
            [Verse]
   C                               C7
I took myself down to the Tally Ho Tavern
   F                  C
To buy me a bottle of beer
    F                  C            Am
And I sat me down by a tender young maiden
     D                   G    G7
Whose eyes as dark as her hair
    C                                 C7
And as I was searching from bottle to bottle
    F                       C
For something un-foolish to say
     F                       C                Am
That silver tongued devil just slipped from the shadows
    G          G7        C
And smiling he stole her away

[Chorus]
        F                                                C
        I said hey, little girl, don't you know he's the devil
        F                      C
        He's everything that I ain't
        F                    C    Am D                    G
        Hiding intentions of evil,   under the smile of a saint
                 F                      C
        All he's good for is getting in trouble
            F                         C
        And shifting his share of the blame
            F                         C
        And Some people swear he's my double
            D                       G
        And some even say we're the same
                F                          C
        But the silver-tongued devil's got nothing to lose
        F                      C
        I'll only live 'till I die
           F                     C           Am
        We take our own chances, pay our own dues  [pause}
            G              G7        C   F C
        The silver tongued devil and I

[Verse]
     C                                       C7
Like all the young maidens who'd laid down beside him
    F                           C
She knew in her heart that he'd lied
    F                         C               Am
But nothing that I could have said could have saved her
   D                        G     G7
No matter how hard that she tried
              C                                    C7
'Cause she'll offer her charms to the darkness and danger
   F                          C
Of something that she's never known
    F                    C          Am
And open her arms at the smile of a stranger
       G            G7        C
Who'll love her and leave her alone

[Chorus]
        F                                                C
        I said hey, little girl, don't you know he's the devil
        F                      C
        He's everything that I ain't
        F                    C    Am D                    G
        Hiding intentions of evil,   under the smile of a saint
                 F                      C
        All he's good for is getting in trouble
            F                         C
        And shifting his share of the blame
            F                         C
        And Some people swear he's my double
            D                       G
        And some even say we're the same
                F                          C
        But the silver-tongued devil's got nothing to lose
        F                      C
        I'll only live 'till I die
           F                     C           Am
        We take our own chances, pay our own dues  [pause}
            G              G7        C   F C
        The silver tongued devil and I
