Kristofferson Kris - Silver Tongue Devil guitar tab

[Capo on fret 1 to play along with Kris]

(Gadd5) I took myself down to the Tally Ho (G7) Tavern

To (C) buy me a bottle of (Gadd5) beer

And (C) I sat me down by a (Gadd5) tender young (Em) maiden

Who's (A7) eyes were as dark as her (D7) hair

And (Gadd5) while I was searchin' from bottle to (G7) bottle

For (C) somethin' un-foolish to (Gadd5) say

That (C) silver tounged devil just (Gadd5) slipped from the (Em) shadows

And (D7) smilin'ly stole her a- (Gadd5) way

I said (G7) hey, little (C) girl don't you know he's the (Gadd5) devil

(C) He's everything that I (Gadd5) ain't

(C) Hidin' intentions of (Gadd5) evil (Em)

(A7) Under the smile of a (D7) saint

All he's (C) good for is gettin' in (Gadd5) trouble (G7)

And (C) shiftin' his share of the (Gadd5) blame (G7)

And (C) some people swear he's my (Gadd5) double (Em)

And (A7) some even say we're the (D7) same

But the (C) silver-tounged devil's got (Gadd5) nothin' to lose (G7)

(C) I'll only live 'til I (Gadd5) die (G7)

We (C) take our own chances and (Gadd5) pay our own (Em-sustain) dues

The (D7) silver tounged devil and (Gadd5) I

(D7) (Gadd5) (E)

Like (A) all the fair maidens who've laid down beside him

She (D) knew in her heart that he'd (A) lied

(D) Nothin' that I could have (A) said could have (Fm) saved her

No (B7) matter how hard that she (E7) tried

'Cause she'll (A) offer her charms to the darkness and danger

Of (D) somethin' that she's never (A) known

And (D) open her arms at the (A) smile of a (Fm) stranger

Who'll (E7) love her and leave her a- (A) lone

(D) And you know, he's the (A) devil

(D) He's everything that I (A) ain't

(D) Hidin' intentions of (A) evil (Fm)

(B7) Under the smile of a (E7) saint

All he's (D) good for is gettin' in (A) trouble

And (D) shiftin' his share of the (A) blame

And (D) some people swear he's my (A) double (Fm)

And (B7) some even say we're the (E7) same

But the (D) silver-tounged devil's got (A) nothin' to lose

(D) I'll only live 'til I (A) die

We (D) take our own chances and (A) pay our own (Fm-sustain) dues

The (E7) silver tounged devil and (A) I

(E7) (A)
