FRIEND OF THE DEVIL- Grateful Dead

G G/F# G/E G/D C C/B C/A C/G

G G/F# G/E G/D C C/B C/A C/G

I lit out from Reno I was trailed by twenty hounds

G G/F# G/E G/D C C/B C/A C/G

Didn't get to sleep that night till the morning came around

CHORUS:

D

Set out runnin' but I take my time

Am

a friend of the devil is a friend of mine

D

If I get home before day light

Am D riff 1 (as D -> G)

I just might get some sleep tonight

Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills

I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills ...CHORUS

Ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there

took my twenty dollar bill and he vanished in the air ...CHORUS

BRIDGE:

riff 2 D

Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night

C/G

The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie and she's my heart's delight

D

Second one is prison, baby, the shefiff's on my trail

Am C D riff 3 (D -> G)

and if he catches up with me I'll spend my life in jail

Got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee

First one says she's got my child, but it don't look like me
