# From: Glenn Estes {t:Silver Tounged Devil and I} {st:Kris Kristofferson} I t[G]ook myself down to the T[G7]ally Ho Tavern To [C]buy me a bottle of [G]beer I [C]sat myself down by a [G]tender young [Em]maiden Who's [C]eyes were as dark as her [D7]hair And [G]while I was searching from [G7]bottle to bottle For [C]something un-foolish to [G]say That [C]silver tounged devil just [G]slipped from the [Em]shadows And [C]smilingly [D7]stole her [G]away {c:Chorus} I said [C]girl don't you know he's a [G]devil [C]He's everything that I [G]ain't [C]Hiding intentions of [G]evil [Em]under the [C]smile of a [D7]saint All he's [C]good for is getting in [G]trouble And [C]slipping his share of the [G]blame And [C]some people swear he's my [G]double And [C]some even say we're the [D7]same But the [C]silver-tounged devil's got [G]nothing to lose And [C]I'll only live 'till I [G]die We [C]take our own chances and [G]pay our own [Em]dues The [C]silver tounged [D7]devil and [G]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 {c:Repeat chorus}
