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
