Friend of the Devil
G C
I lit out from Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds
G C
Didn't get to sleep that night 'Till the morning came around.
Chorus:
D Am
Set out runnin' but I take my time A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
D Am D
If I get home before daylight, 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
I ran down to the levee But the devil caught me there
He took my twenty dollar bill And vanished in the air.
Chorus
D
Got two reasons why I cry Away each lonely night,
C
The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie, And she's my hearts delight.
C# D
The second one is prison, baby, The sheriff's on my trail,
Am C D
And if he catches up with me, I'll spend my life in jail.
Jam Verse x3
Got two reasons… etc (bridge)
Got a wife in Chino, babe, And one in Cherokee
The first one says she's got my child, But it don't look like me.
Chorus
