ARTIST: The Grateful Dead
TITLE: Friend of the Devil
Lyrics and Chords


I lit out from Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds
Didn't get to sleep that night 'til the morning came around

/ G - C - / /

{Refrain}
Set out runnin', but I take my time
A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
Just might get some sleep tonight

/ D - / C - / D - / C - D - /

Ran into the Devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills
Spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills

{Refrain}

I ran down to the levee, but the Devil caught me there
Took my twenty dollar bill and he vanished in the air

{Refrain}

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

/ D - - - / C - - - / D - - - / C - Am D /

Got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee
First one say she's got my child, but it don't look like me

{Refrain} {Bridge}

Got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee
First one say she's got my child, but it don't look like me

{Refrain}
