"The Silver Tongued Devil And I" by Kris Kristofferson
Another Kris song for all you CBN silver tongued devils.
I [C] took myself down, to the Tally Ho Tavern
To [F] buy me a bottle of [C] beer
And I [[F] sat me down by a [C] tender young maiden
Whose [D] eyes were as dark as her [G] hair
And [C] as I was searching from bottle to bottle
For [F] somethin' unfoolish to [C] say
That [F] silver tongued devil just [C]slipped from the shadows
And [G] smilingly stole her a- [C]way
I said [F] hey, don't you know, he's the [C] devil
[F] He's ev'rything that I [C] ain't
[F] Hidin' intentions of [C] evil
[D] Under the smile of a [G] saint
All he's [F] good for is gettin' in [C] trouble
And [F] shiftin' his share of the [C] blame
And [F] some people swear he's my [C]double
And [D] some even say we're the [G] same
But the [F] silver-tongued devil's got [C] nothin' to lose
And [F] I'll only live till I [C] die
We [F] take our own chances, and [C] pay our own dues
The [G] silver tongued devil and [C] I.

Well done Uncle John. Always loved that song.

Have at it, Shane. I think it might be a good one for you. Find the right key to sing it in and away you go.
Thanks, Nancy. That looks like our old gray Katie Cat, gone quite a while now.
Thanks, James O. Pick, I had my pasta. You are back in good graces. Thanks Danny and I agree - as Kris showed us, a 'pretty voice' is not always needed to be a good singer.
Thanks, Matt. The claw hammer practice is sounding better - I have no idea if I am doing it right.
Thanks, Papa D. I appreciate all the encouraging words.
Awesome Uncle John. Keep-em coming! love your stuff..
another great time from you unc. Really a nice rendition. You capture the underlying sadness in this one perfectly. I really enjoyed this.
