The Grateful Dead - Friend of the Devil
Loose approximation of the intro
GD/F#Em7DCG/BAm7Dx2
The intro pattern more or less continues through all the verses, but I’m not writing that all out
GI lit out from Reno, I was Ctrailed by twenty hounds
GDidn’t get to sleep that night ‘till the Cmorning came around
DSet out runnin’ but I take my time
A Am7friend of the devil is a friend of mine
DI get home before daylight, I Am7just might get some sleep toDnight
GRan into the devil, babe, he Cloaned me twenty bills
GSpent the night in Utah in a Ccave up in the hills
DSet out runnin’ but I take my time
A Am7friend of the devil is a friend of mine
DI get home before daylight, I Am7just might get some sleep toDnight
I Gran down to the levee but the Cdevil caught me there
He Gtook my twenty dollar bill and Cvanished in the air
DSet out runnin’ but I take my time
A Am7friend of the devil is a friend of mine
DI get home before daylight, I Am7just might get some sleep toDnight
DGot two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
The Cfirst one’s named Sweet Anne Marie, and she’s my heart’s delight
The Dsecond one is prison, babe, the sheriff’s on my trail
And Am7if he catches up with me, I’ll Cspend my life in Djail
GGot a wife in Chino, babe, and Cone in Cherokee
The Gfirst one say she’s got my child, but Cit don’t look like me
DSet out runnin’ but I take my time
A Am7friend of the devil is a friend of mine
DI get home before daylight, I Am7just might get some sleep toDnight
