"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.

ive always thought Kris was an excellent song writer...and your right, no pretty singin...but he carved his way out and his hangover voice is very pleasing to me...good job John
:-(
Very Good Uncle John Kris one of my favorites I like the Cowboy Hat Great job
Thanks for the encouraging words. Not you, Pick. You made me hungry for pasta and meat balls.
Interesting to me that Kris's songs can be hard to sing. I think of him as more of an 'interesting and pleasing' singer than a 'pretty singer. My not so big vocal range strains to do this song and his great "Why Me Lord."
This hits the spot.
Love a bit of Kris, and I love this. Nice one, John!
Silent Jim is right, which old well known film do you come from?...°<[:-) [---]==={...
Very pretty Hat... all fits very nicely...
Good song, good hat,good job Unc!
