The Silver Tongued Devil And I by Kris Kristofferson - Guitar Chords
<< Back to Kris Kristofferson Song List
Version 1
[Verse]
C C7
I took myself down to the Tally Ho Tavern
F C
To buy me a bottle of beer
F C Am
And I sat me down by a tender young maiden
D G G7
Whose eyes as dark as her hair
C C7
And as I was searching from bottle to bottle
F C
For something un-foolish to say
F C Am
That silver tongued devil just slipped from the shadows
G G7 C
And smiling he stole her away
[Chorus]
F C
I said hey, little girl, don't you know he's the devil
F C
He's everything that I ain't
F C Am D G
Hiding intentions of evil, under the smile of a saint
F C
All he's good for is getting in trouble
F C
And shifting his share of the blame
F C
And Some people swear he's my double
D G
And some even say we're the same
F C
But the silver-tongued devil's got nothing to lose
F C
I'll only live 'till I die
F C Am
We take our own chances, pay our own dues [pause}
G G7 C F C
The silver tongued devil and I
[Verse]
C C7
Like all the young maidens who'd laid down beside him
F C
She knew in her heart that he'd lied
F C Am
But nothing that I could have said could have saved her
D G G7
No matter how hard that she tried
C C7
'Cause she'll offer her charms to the darkness and danger
F C
Of something that she's never known
F C Am
And open her arms at the smile of a stranger
G G7 C
Who'll love her and leave her alone
[Chorus]
F C
I said hey, little girl, don't you know he's the devil
F C
He's everything that I ain't
F C Am D G
Hiding intentions of evil, under the smile of a saint
F C
All he's good for is getting in trouble
F C
And shifting his share of the blame
F C
And Some people swear he's my double
D G
And some even say we're the same
F C
But the silver-tongued devil's got nothing to lose
F C
I'll only live 'till I die
F C Am
We take our own chances, pay our own dues [pause}
G G7 C F C
The silver tongued devil and I
