Friend Of The Devil

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
Set out running but I take my time
Em
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
D                                 Em                        G
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight


[Verse]

G                              C
Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills
G                               C
I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills


[Chorus]

D
Set out running but I take my time
Em
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
D                                 Em                        G
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight


[Verse]

G                                 C
I ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there
G                                 C
He took my twenty dollar bill and vanished in the air


[Chorus]

D
Set out running but I take my time
Em
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
D                                 Em                        G
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight


[Bridge]

D
Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night,

the first one's named Sweet Anne Marie, and she's my hearts delight.
D
The second one is prison, babe, the sheriff's on my trail,
                                                     C
and if he catches up with me, I'll spend my life in jail


[Verse]

G                                C
Got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee
G                                           C
The first one says she's got my child, but it don't look like me


[Chorus] x2

D
Set out running but I take my time
Em
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
D                                 Em                        G
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight
