[Verse 2]
The Devil came from Kansas
Where he went to I can't say
If you really are my brother
Then you better start to pray
For the sins of those departed
And the ones about to go
There's a dark cloud just above us
Don't scowl because I know
[Chorus]
Bb Ab Eb I am not a humble pilgrim Db Ab Ab7 Db There's no need to scrape and squeeze Gb Ab Bb And don't beg for silver paper F Ab Eb When I'm trying to sell you cheese

[Verse 3]
Though I never came from Kansas
Don't forget to thank the cook
Which reminds me of my duty
I was lost though now I look
For the turning and the signpost
And the road which takes you down
To that pool inside the forest
In whose waters I shall drown
[Chorus]
Bb Ab Eb I am not a humble pilgrim Db Ab Ab7 Db There's no need to scrape and squeeze Gb Ab Bb And don't beg for silver paper F Ab Eb When I'm trying to sell you cheese
