      THE HILL COUNTRY DEVIL

INTRO:
E B E  B E  B E


VERSE:
B        E
I can hardly breathe
    A  E  B     C#m
As I press my head to my knees
         A
And pray for relief
          E
Through scattered dreams

B           E
And how the shadows tease
     A   E    B         C#m
While I wonder if my heart will cease to beat
          A
But it`s gaining speed
          E
Oh, it`s gaining speed
          B
And it`s gaining speed


VERSE:
 B         E
And I don`t feel brave
    A   E    B       C#m
As I stare upon the backdrop of my grave
       A
Lord keep me safe
      E
As I walk away

B       E
And make my escape
     A  E    B        C#m
Make my tail tucked strolling off the stage
       A
The curtains fall
        E
In a crashing wave


VERSE:
B       E
And I take my bow
     A  E      B       C#m
But the audience has already all walked out
          A
And it`s an empty house
         E
Oh, I`m breaking down

B          E
Now the lights all fade
    A     E    B         C#m
How I wish that just one person would have stayed
        A
But it`s my mistake
       E
I wrote the play
       B  B
I wrote the play


INSTRUMENTAL:
E B A E B C#m Ab A C#m E B B E
A E B C#m C#m A A E B


OUTRO:
B        E
I can hardly breathe
      A    E    B     C#m
As I stand naked before the vacant symphony
           A
The shadows come in hoards
          E
And they cheer for more
B     E
For my encore
