Verse 1:

Eb Bb Eb

The Devil came from Kansas

Bb Eb

Where he went to I can't say

Though I teach I'm not a preacher

Ab Eb

And I aim to stay that way

Bb Eb

There's a monkey riding on my back

Bb Eb

Been there for some time

Ab Cm

He says he knows me very well

Fm Ab Eb

But he's no friend of mine

Chorus:

Bb Eb

I am not a humble pilgrim

Ab Ab7 Db

There's no need to scrape and squeeze

Gb Ab Bb

And don't beg for silver paper

F Ab Eb

When I'm trying to sell you cheese

Bb Eb Ab (Eb)

Verse 2:

The Devil came from Kansas

Where he went to I can't say

If you really are my brother

Then you better start to pray

For the sins of those departed

And the ones about to go

There's a dark cloud just above us

Don't scowl because I know

[repeat chorus]

Guitar solo:

Bb Eb Bb Eb [3X]

Verse 3:

Though I never came from Kansas

Don't forget to thank the cook

Which reminds me of my duty

I was lost though now I look

For the turning and the signpost

And the road which takes you down

To that pool inside the forest

In whose waters I shall drown

[repeat chorus]

Coda [guitar solo; repeat to fade]
