Friend Of The Devil

Intro: G C G C


G                         C
I lit out from Reno I was trailed by twenty hounds
G                         C
Didn't get to sleep last night till the morning came around

Chorus:
D
I set out running but I take my time
Am
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
D
If I get home before daylight
Am                          D
I just might get some sleep tonight



Ran into the devil babe, he loaned me twenty bills
Spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills

Chorus

Went down to the levee but the devil caught me there
He took my twenty dollar bill and he vanished in the air

Chorus

D
Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
C
The first ones named sweet Anne Marie, and she's my heart's delight
D
The second one is prison baby, the sheriffs on my trail
Am
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

Chorus
