G (2)
I lit out from Reno,
C (2)
I was trailed by twenty hounds
G (2)
Didn't get to sleep that night
C (2)
'Till the morning came around.
Chorus:
D (2)
Set out runnin' but I take my time
Am (2)
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
D (2)
If I get home before daylight,
Am (2) D (4)
I just might get some sleep tonight.
G (2)
Ran into the devil, babe,
C (2)
He loaned me twenty bills
G (2)
I spent the night in Utah
C (2)
In a cave up in the hills.
Chorus
G (2)
I ran down to the levee
C (2)
But the devil caught me there
G (2)
He took my twenty-dollar bill
C (2)
And vanished in the air.
Chorus
Bridge:
D (2)
Got two reasons why I cry
D (2)
Away each lonely night,
C (2)
The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie,
C (2)
And she's my hearts delight.
D (2)
The second one is prison, baby,
D (2)
The sheriff's on my trail,
Am (2)
And if he catches up with me,
C D (4)
I'll spend my life in jail.
G (2)
Got a wife in Chino, babe,
C (2)
And one in Cherokee
G (2)
The first one says she's got my child,
C (2)
But it don't look like me.
