G                          C 
I lit out from Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds 
G                                        C 
Didn't get to sleep last night 'till the morning came around 
 
D 
Set out runnin' but I take my time 
  Am 
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine 
   D                             Am                          D 
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight 
 
G                            C 
Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills 
  G                            C 
I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills 
 
D 
Set out runnin' but I take my time 
  Am 
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine 
   D                             Am                          D 
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight 
 
  G                             C 
I ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there 
   G                              C 
He took my twenty dollar bill and vanished in the air 
 
D 
Set out runnin' but I take my time 
  Am 
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine 
   D                             Am                          D 
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight. 
 
D 
Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night, 
    C 
The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie, and she's my hearts delight. 
    D 
The second one is prison, babe, the sheriff's on my trail, 
    Am                             C                D 
And if he catches up with me, I'll spend my life in jail. 
 
G                              C 
Got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee 
    G                                      C 
The first one says she's got my child, but it don't look like me 
 
D
