C F [Verse 1]
C                          F
I lit out from Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds

C                                        F
Didn't get to sleep last night 'til the morning came around.
[Chorus]
G
Set out runnin' but I take my time

  Dm
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine

   G                             Dm                  F       G
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.
[Verse 2]
C                             F
Ran into the devil, babe, and he loaned me twenty bills

  C                            F
I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills.
[Chorus]
G
Set out runnin' but I take my time

  Dm
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine

   G                             Dm                  F       G
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.
[Verse 3]
  C                             F
I ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there

   C                              F
He took my twenty dollar bill and vanished in the air.
[Chorus]
G
Set out runnin' but I take my time

  Dm
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine

   G                             Dm                  F       G
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.
[Bridge]
G
Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night,

    F
The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie, and she's my hearts delight.

    G
The second one is prison, babe, the sheriff's on my trail,

    Dm                             F                G
And if he catches up with me, I'll spend my life in jail.
[Verse 4]
C                              F
Got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee

    C                                      F
The first one says she's got my child, but it don't look like me.
[Chorus]
G
Set out runnin' but I take my time

A friend of the devil is a friend of mine

   G                             Dm                  F       G
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.
