I took myself down to the Tally Ho Tavern
C GTo buy me a bottle of beer
C G EmI sat myself down by a tender young maiden
Who's eyes were as dark as her hair
G G7And while I was searching from bottle to bottle
C GFor something un-foolish to say
That silver tounged devil just slipped from the shadows
C D7 GAnd smilingly stole her away
C Gchorus: I said girl don't you know he's a devil
He's everything that I ain't
C G Em C D7Hiding intentions of evil under the smile of a saint
C GAll he's good for is getting in trouble
And slipping his share of the blame
C GAnd some people swear he's my double
C D7And some even say we're the same
But the silver-tounged devil's got nothing to lose
C GAnd I'll only live 'till I die
C G EmWe take our own chances and pay our own dues
The silver tounged devil and I
Like all the young ladies who've laid down beside him
She knew in her heart that he lied
But nothing that I could have said could have saved her
No matter how hard that I tried
'Cause she'll offer her soul up to darkness and danger
Of a world that she's never known
And open her arms at the smile of a stranger
Who'll love her and leave her alone
Repeat chorus
