Jimmy Buffett – The Devil I Know (Guitar)

G
Three in the morning came without a warning

C                             G
Wound up with some old buccaneers

         C                           G
Tellin' lies about the time I won the Nobel Prize

D                        G
Guess who bought all the beers

G
Well, you'd think I'd have tamed my old dragons by now

C                               G
I've always tried to be a good scout

     C                       G
But every now and then they come swoopin' in

         D                      G
Saying, "Bubba, it's time to go out"

         C                    G
Now it's fun to wake up in a strange chateau

       D                        G
After racing 'round Paris in a Deux Chevaux

    C                      G               Em
My wingman's crashing but I'm not flying solo

       C                 G             D
'Cause he traded places with the devil I know

F        G     F       G
Devil I know, devil I know

G
Well, life can be confusing but things need excusin'

    C                           G
To separate the turns from the twists

     C                        G
If I had a Richter scale for spouting forked tales

     D                         G
We'd all be high on that shit list

G
Well, the hitch to living hard is when you drop your guard

         C                      G
And wind up in a headline or a cell

      C                     G
Then compromise, or worse, apologize

 D                               G
Welcome to the world of sinkin' spells

C                         G
Messing with my mind was fun at the time

D                        G
Tossing to and fro in a tricky undertow

C                        G               Em
Deviants and derelicts, lurking high and low

C                        D       G
Ridin' shotgun with the devil I know

F        G     F       G
Devil I know, devil I know

G
Let's go ridin', devil

C           D                 G
There were times, there were places

    D               G
We played near and far

         Bm         Em                     G
From the old Anchor Inn to the Suez Canal bar

         Bm            E
From the Kraken to Manhattan

Bm                   E
Le Select to Old Saigon

A
Mojitos in Havana

C              D
Timbuktu 'til dawn

G
Three in the mornin', feral cats are yawnin'

C                        G
Full moon sinking in the bay

      C                    G
Spoonbills in flight, oh, what a sight

      D                 G
As I sip on my café au lait

G
Well, the birds got me thinkin' 'bout going day drinkin'

   C                      G
A hall pass to be the old me

       C                         G
Don't need hops and barley to throw a little party

     D                  G
Señorita, una mas iced tea

            C                      G
Hell, it's fun to go fishing on a new slack tide

D                       G
Wake up living life on the flip side

      C                               G                    Em
Them dragons ain't gone, but they're fading like an old tattoo

         C              G              D        G
Lots of mystery in the history of the devils I knew

F        G      F       G
Devils I knew, devils I knew
