To Beat The Devil chords
Verse 1:(spoken) G C/G G It was winter time in Nashville,down on music city row D C/G And i was lookin' for a place to get myself out of the cold G Em C/G To warm the frozen feelin' that was eatin' at my soul D And keep the chilly wind off my guitar Verse 2:(spoken) G C/G G My thirsty wanted whisky,my hungry needed beans D But it'd been of month of paydays since i've heard that eagle scream C/G G Em C/G So with my stomach full of empty and my pockets full of dreams D I left my pride and stepped inside a bar Bridge:(spoken) Em C/G Actually i guess you'd could call it a Tavern...D Cigarette smoke to the ceiling and stardust on the floor G Friendly shadows Verse 3:(spoken) G C/G G I saw that there was just one old man sittin' at the bar D C/G And in the mirror i could see him checkin' me and my guitar G Em C/G He turned,and said "Come up here boy,and show us what you are" D I said "I'm dry"-and he brought me a beer Verse 1-bis:(spoken) G C/G G He nodded at my guitar and said "It's a tough life,ain't it" D C/G I just looked at him,and he said "You ain't makin' any money,are you?" G Em C/G I said "You've been readin' my mail".He just smiled and said "Let me see your guitar" C/G G I've got something you want to hear.Then he laid it on me Verse sang 1: G C/G If you waste your time of talkin' to the people who don't listen G D To the things that you are sayin',who do you think's gonna hear G C/G And if you should die explaining how the things that they complain about G D G Are things they could be changin' who do you think's gonna care D C/G G There were other lonely singers in a world turned deaf and blind D Who were crucified for what they tried to show G C/G G And their voice's have been scattered by this world and winds of times D G Cause the truth remains that no one wants to know Verse 4:(spoken) G C/G G Well,the old man was a stranger,but i'd heard his song before D C/G Back when failure had me locked out on the wrong side of the door G Em C/G When no one stood behind me but my shadow on the floor D And lonesome was more than a state of mind Verse 2-bis:(spoken) G C/G G You see,the devil haunts a hungry man,and if you don't wanna join him D C/G You got to beat him G Em C/G I ain't sayin' i beat the devil but i drank his beer for nothing G Then i stole his song Verse sang 2: G C/G And you still can hear me singin' to the people who don't listen G D To the things that i am sayin',prayin' someones gonna hear G C/G And i guess i'll die explainig how the things that they complain about G D G Are things they could be changin',hopin' someones gonna care D C/G G I was born a lonely singer,and i'm bound to die the same D But i've got to feed the hunger in my soul G C/G G And if i never have a nickle i won't ever die ashamed D G Cause i don't believe that no one wants to know Thanks to Jan Ekeland for the lyrics.
