G7 C Mary cried and forgave me, and Mary took me back again. F Said if I wanted my freedom, I could be free evermore. C G7 C But I don't wanna be, and I don't wanna see, Mary cry anymore. CHORUS: G G7 C C7 Oh, devil woman, devil woman let go of me. G G7 C Devil woman, let me be, and leave me alone, I wanna go home. #2. C G G7 Mary is waitin' and weepin', down in our shack by the sea. C Even after I've hurt her, Mary's still in love with me. F Devil woman it's over, I'm trapped no more by your charms. C G G7 C Cause I don't wanna stay, I wanna get away, woman let go of my arm. CHORUS: G G7 C C7 Oh, devil woman, devil woman let go of me. G G7 C Devil woman, let me be, and leave me alone, I wanna go home. #3. C G Devil woman you're evil, like the dark coral reef. G7 C Like the winds that bring high tides, you bring sorrow and grief. C7 F You made me ashamed to face Mary, I barely had the strength to tell C C7 G G7 C Skies are not so black, Mary took me back, Mary has broken your spell. CHORUS: G G7 C C7 Oh, devil woman, devil woman let go of me. G G7 C Devil woman, let me be, and leave me alone, I wanna go home. #4. C G Running along by the seashore, running as fast as I can. G7 C Even the seagulls are happy, glad I'm coming home again. C7 F Never again will I ever, cause another tear to fall.. C C7 G G7 C Down the beach I see, what belongs to me, the one I want most of all. CHORUS: G G7 C C7 Oh, devil woman, devil woman let go of me. G G7 C Devil woman, let me be, and leave me alone, I’m going back home. There is a You Tube performance of Marty Robbins performing this song. http:// -/eT88zD912Xo You can see his fourth finger rests pretty steadily on the 3rd fret(realitive to the capo) on the E(6) string for a high G. He strums with his thumb and picks that high G. Sounds really nice.
