           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
