Standard (EADGBE)

 I took myself down to the Tally Ho Tavern

 To buy me a bottle of beer

 I sat myself down by a tender young maiden

 Who's eyes were as dark as her hair

 And while I was searching from bottle to bottle

 For something un-foolish to say

 That silver tounged devil just slipped from the shadows

 And smilingly stole her away

Chorus

I said girl don't you know he's a devil

  He's everything that I ain't

  Hiding intentions of evil under the smile of a saint

  All he's good for is getting in trouble

  And slipping his share of the blame

  And some people swear he's my double

  And some even say we're the same

  But the silver-tounged devil's got nothing to lose

  And I'll only live 'till I die

  We take our own chances and pay our own dues

  The silver tounged devil and I

Like all the young ladies who've laid down beside him

She knew in her heart that he lied

But nothing that I could have said could have saved her

No matter how hard that I tried

'Cause she'll offer her soul up to darkness and danger

Of a world that she's never known

And open her arms at the smile of a stranger

Who'll love her and leave her alone

Repeat chorus
