The Silver Tounged Devil and I - chords, tab and comments
Title song from Kris' second Monument album, 1971. In opposite to all the songs ever about cheating and lying women, I guess: a man with big mouth and false image; being ashamed of it.
G G7 I took myself down to the Tally Ho Tavern C G to buy me a bottle of beer C G Em I sat myself down by a tender young maiden A7 D7 who's eyes were as dark as her hair G G7 and while I was searching from bottle to bottle C G for something unfoolish to say C G Em that silver tounged devil just slipped from the shadows D D7 G and smilingly stole her away G7 C G I said hey little girl don't you know he's a devil C G he's everything that I ain't C G A7 D7 hiding intentions of evil under the smile of a saint C G all he's good for is getting in trouble C G and slipping his share of the blame C G and some people swear he's my double A7 D7 and some even say we're the same C G but the silver tounged devil's got nothing to lose C G and I'll only live 'till I die C G Em we take our own chances and pay our own dues D7 G the silver tounged devil and I
