Friend of the Devil

The Grateful Dead

G1 G/F# G/E G/D   C C/B Am G (x4)
         G1  G/F#       G/E
          I lit out from Reno
         G/D   C              C/B       Am       G
          I was trailed by twenty hounds
          Didn't get to sleep that night
          Till the morning came around

                          D
                        I set out running, but I take my time
                           Am
                        A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
                           D
                        If I get home before daylight
                        Am                                          D
                        Just might get some sleep tonight

          I ran into the devil, babe
          He loaned me twenty bills
          Spent that night in Utah
          In a cave up in the hills

                        I set out running, but I take my time
                        A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
                        If I get home before daylight
                        I just might get some sleep tonight

          I ran down to the levee
          But the devil caught me there
          He took my twenty dollar bill
          And he vanished in the air

                        I set out running, but I take my time
                        A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
                        If I get home before daylight
                        I just might get some sleep tonight

                                      D add2               D add2       D add2               D add2 add4
                                      Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
                                      C
                                      First one's named sweet Anne Marie and she's my heart's delight
                                      D add2           D add2          D add2              D add2 add4
                                      Second one is prison, baby, sheriff's on my trail
                                      Am                                         C                        D
                                      If he catches up with me I'll spend my life in jail

          Got a wife in Chino, babe
          And one in Cherokee
          First one says she's got my child
          But it don't look like me

                        I set out running, but I take my time
                        A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
                        If I get home before daylight
                        I just might get some sleep tonight
                                         *Solo*    (verse)

                                      Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
                                      First one's named sweet Anne Marie
                                        and she's my heart's delight
                                      Second one is prison, baby, sheriff's on my trail
                                      And if he catches up with me I'll spend my life in jail

          Got a wife in Chino, babe
          And a one in Cherokee
          First one says she's got my child
          But it don't look like me

                        I set out running, but I take my time
                        A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
                        If I get home before daylight
                          Am                                         D
                        I just might get some sleep tonight...
