(1)

(Ab)I took myself down to the Tally Ho Tavern.To

(Db)by me a bottle of(Ab)beer.

(Db)And i sat me down by a tender young maiden who's

(Ab)eyes were as dark as her(Db)hair.And

(Ab)as I was searchin' from bottle to bottle for,

(Db)something unfoolish to(Ab)say.that

(Db)Silver tounged devil,jusst slipped from the shadows and

(Eb)Smilin' just stole her(Ab)away.

(2)

I said hey little girl don't ya know he's the devil?

He's everything that I ain't

Hiding intentions of evil under the smile of a saint.

All he's good for is gettin in trouble,

And shiftin' his share of the blame.

And some people swear he's my double,

And some even say we're the same.

But the silver tounged devil's got nothing to lose,

And I'll only live till I die.

(3)

Like all the fair maidens who've laid down beside him,

She knew in her heart that he'd lied.

Nothing that I could have said would have saved her.

No matter how hard she tried.

"cause she'll offer her charms to the darkness and danger,

of something that she's never known.

And open her arms at the smile of a stranger,

who'll love her and leave her alone.

(repeat 2)
