Chords with lyrics

Intro:
AbAb

Verse:
AbAb                 Ab7Ab7
I took myself down to the Tally Ho Tavern
DbDb          AbAb
To buy me a bottle of beer
DbDb           AbAb      F minorFm
And I sat me down by a tender young maiden
Bb majorBb               Eb MajorEb
Who's eyes were as dark as her hair
AbAb
And as I was searching from bottle to bottle
  DbDb           AbAb
For something un-foolish to say
   DbDb            AbAb        F minorFm
That silver tongued devil just slipped from the shadows
  Eb MajorEb    Eb7Eb7    AbAb
And smilingly stole her away

Chorus:           DbDb              AbAb
I said: "Hey, little girl, don't you know he's the devil
DbDb           AbAb
"He's everything that I ain't
DbDb          AbAb F minorFm
"Hiding intentions of evil
Bb majorBb          Eb MajorEb
"Under the smile of a saint
     DbDb           AbAb
"All he's good for is getting in trouble
   DbDb            AbAb
"And shiftin' his share of the blame
   DbDb            AbAb   F minorFm
"And some people swear he's my double
   Bb majorBb           Eb MajorEb
"And some even say we're the same
     DbDb             AbAb
"But the silver-tongued devil's got nothing to lose
DbDb           AbAb
"I'll only live 'til I die
  DbDb            AbAb     F minorFm
"We take our own chances and pay our own dues {pause}
   Eb MajorEb            AbAb
"The silver tongued devil and I."
Eb MajorEb AbAb A minorAm

Verse:
   Bb majorBb                   Bb7Bb7
Like all the fair maidens who've laid down beside him
  Eb MajorEb             Bb majorBb
She knew in her heart that he'd lied
Eb MajorEb            Bb majorBb       G minorGm
Nothin' that I could have said could have saved her
  C majorC            FF
No matter how hard that she tried
      Bb majorBb                  Bb7Bb7
'Cos she'll offer her charms to the darkness and danger
  Eb MajorEb             Bb majorBb
Of somethin' that she's never known
  Eb MajorEb          Bb majorBb     G minorGm
And open her arms at the smile of a stranger
    FF           Bb majorBb
Who'll love her and leave her alone

Chorus:
Eb MajorEb            Bb majorBb
 And you know, he's the devil
Eb MajorEb           Bb majorBb
He's everything that I ain't
Eb MajorEb         Bb majorBb G minorGm
Hiding intentions of evil
C majorC          FF
Under the smile of a saint
     Eb MajorEb           Bb majorBb
All he's good for is getting in trouble
  Eb MajorEb            Bb majorBb
And shiftin' his share of the blame
  Eb MajorEb            Bb majorBb   G minorGm
And some people swear he's my double
  C majorC            FF
And some even say we're the same
    Eb MajorEb             Bb majorBb
But the silver-tongued devil's got nothing to lose
Eb MajorEb          Bb majorBb
I'll only live 'til I die
  Eb MajorEb            Bb majorBb     G minorGm
We take our own chances and pay our own dues
N.C.
Ah ha ha ha
  FF            Bb majorBb
The silver tongued devil and I
  FF            Bb majorBb
