Tuning: Standard

Intro:

D  D  D  D



Verse :
   D
A little outside of Elizabethtown

There’s a little bar where

I’d sit down
             G
And trade a couple country songs
              D
for Kentucky Bourbon

   D
A little ol’ gal in the middle

of the night

Learning how to love and

learning how to fight
     G
And learning how to like my
          D
brand of hurting


Pre-Chorus:
 A
Hell there's hell everywhere I go
          G            N.C.
I’m just sticking with the
             D
devil I know


Chorus:
 G
Momma says get my ass to church

Daddy says get my ass to work
 D
Doctor says I gotta give up on

these smokes

 G
Everybody’s got something to say

About how I gotta change my ways

    Bm                  A         G
But I got something to say of my own

 G
Hell there's hell everywhere I go
          G                         D
I’m just sticking with the devil I know




Verse :
D
I love somebody everybody loves

And he’s in love with my messed up
 G                                           D
Most folks can’t see my soul through the smoke

           D
And we’re suitcase marks on a hardwood floor

Flipping the bird, slamming the door
             G                                   D
And feeling out and turning 'round and coming home


Pre-Chorus:
     A
And hell there's hell everywhere I go
        G                         D
So I’m sticking with the devil I know


Chorus:
 G
Momma says get my ass to church

Daddy says get my ass to work
 D
Doctor says I gotta give up on these smokes

 G
Everybody’s got something to say

About how I gotta change my ways

    Bm                  A         G
But I got something to say of my own


Break: (ACAPELLA)

There's higher roads that I rode

And better choices than I chose
                                    D  D  D  D
I’m just sticking with the devil I know


Instrumental/Solo:
         G
Hey-hey hey hey hey
     D
Hey heeey hey hey
     G
Woah oh oh oh oh


Chorus:
 G
Momma says get my ass to church

Daddy says get my ass to work
 D
Doctor says I gotta give up on these smokes

 G
Everybody’s got something to say

About how I gotta change my ways

    Bm                  A         G
But I got something to say of my own


Outro:
              G                G
Hell there's hell everywhere I go
                      G
I’m just sticking with the devil I know
