[Ab] [C]
Oh, come on.
Yeah.
[F] [C]
[F] I'm tired now.
[C] Come here Tommy, let's sing.
Yeah.
The devil ain't [Fm] lazy.
[C] No sirree.
The devil ain't [F] lazy.
No sirree.
He runs [Dm] around with sticks and [Gm] stones,
passes out his mawns and groans.
The devil [Dm] ain't no lazy [D] bones,
he works 24 hours a day.
The devil ain't [F] lazy.
No sirree.
[Am] The devil ain't [F] lazy.
No sirree.
He likes to [Dm] see us fight and [C] fuss,
he makes us mean enough to cuss,
and then he [Dm] blames it all on [G] us.
He works 24 [F] hours a day.
He travels like a lightning [C] streak
and strikes from town to town.
Yes, [E] yes.
And if he gets you when you're weak,
he'll [D] tear your playhouse down.
The devil ain't [F] lazy.
No sirree.
[C] The devil ain't [F] lazy.
No sirree.
[Gm] Tells us [Dm] he won't hurt a [C] fly,
he makes [D] us steal and lie,
keeps us sinning till we die.
He works [G] 24 hours a day.
[C] [F] [C]
I'm tired of this [Fm] [D]
[F] play.
[C]
[D]
The devil ain't [F] lazy.
No [E] sirree.
The devil ain't lazy.
No [C] sirree.
He gets his [D] pitchfork out each [Cm] night
to give the [D] folks an awful [E] fright.
I think he [D] does it just for [F] spite,
he works 24 hours a [Dm] day.
The devil [F] ain't lazy.
No sirree.
The devil ain't lazy.
No sirree.
He tells [Dm] us how to find [Gm] success,
I know he'll wind up in distress.
The devil [D] is an awful [Em] mess,
he works 24 hours [Am] a day.
He likes to [Ab] see things scorch and [Dm] burn,
so don't make no [E] excuse.
If he catches you,
he'll turn you every [Cm] way but loose.
[G] The devil [F] ain't lazy.
No [C] sirree.
The devil [Eb] ain't lazy.
No sirree.
So when you [Dm] think you're strong and [Gm] brave,
smart [D] enough to not behave,
then you've got [Dm] one foot in the [C] grave,
he
