I set out from Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds
Didn't get to sleep that night till the morning came around
[D] I set out running but it take my [Am] time, a friend of the devil is a friend of [D] mine
I get home before daylight, [Am] just might get some sleep [D] tonight
[G] I ran into the devil, [Cm] baby, lonely and twenty [Am] bills
[G] Spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills
[D] I set out running but it take my [A] time, a friend of the devil is a friend [D] of mine
I get home before daylight, [Am] just might get some sleep [D] tonight
[G] Went down to the levee but the devil called me back
Took my twenty dollar bill and [Am] it vanished in the air
[D] I set out running but it take my [A] time, a friend of the devil is a friend [D] of mine
I get home before [Am] daylight, just might get some sleep [D] tonight
Got two reasons why I cry, wait, lonely night
[C] First one's named Sweet Ann Marie and she's my heart's delight
[D] Second one is prison babe, the sheriff's on my trail
[Am] And if he catches up with me I'll [C] spend my [D] life in jail
[D] [G] Got a wife in Chino, babe, and [C] one in Cherokee
[G] First one say she got my [C] child but it don't [A] look like me
Set [D] out running but it take [D] my time, a [Am] friend of the devil is a [Am] friend of [D] mine
I get home before [A] daylight, [Am] just might get some sleep [D] tonight
