Tom: G

G                          C          D7 
I laid up from Reno I was trailed by 20 hounds 
G                                   C             D7 
Didn?t get to sleep last night till the morning came around 
 
 
Chorus: 
        D7 
        Set out running but I?ll take my time 
            Am 
        A friend of the devil is a friend of mine 
           D7                           Am                          D7 
        If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight 
 
G                               C                      D7 
Well, I ran into the levee but devil caught me there 
G                                  C            D7 
Took my twenty dollar bill and he vanished in the air 
 
 
Chorus 
 
Instrumental 
 
D7                  Am          D7 
I got two reasons why I cry each lonely night 
Am 
First one?s named sweet Anne Marie, she?s my heart?s delight 
D7                              Am 
Second one is person with the sheriff on my trail 
      D7 
And if he catches me I?ll spend my life in jail 
 
G                                  C          D7 
I?ve got a wife in Chino Bay and one in Cherokee 
G                                   C                  D7 
First one says she got my child but it don?t look like me
