Robert Earl Keen – Beats The Devil (Guitar)

C#m         A
  I can't remember when

E                  B
I was here but I'm back again

C#m        A
  I barely know you friend

    E              B
and everything has changed

    C#m               A
The sun burned up the sky turned green

    E               B
the air it smelt of gasoline

    C#m             A
the soldier boy the teenage queen had

E             B
since become estranged

A           C#m
  I--I keep moving,

A                          E   B
  like the wind across the sea-ea

A           C#m
  Howww I'm moving,

A           B           C#m
  beats the devil outta me.

C#m            A
I was tethered to the plow

    E               B
and came untied but don't know how

C#m          A
  It's all behind me now

     E           B
like some exotic dream

C#m          A
I woke up in oil and mud

    E                     B
and sticks and stones and bones and blood

C#m           A
  everthing I knew was good

    E                 B
had vanished with the steam

A           C#m
  I--I keep moving,

A                          E   B
  like the wind across the sea-ea

A           C#m
  Howww I'm moving,

A           B           C#m
  beats the devil outta me.

A           C#m
  I--I keep moving,

A                          E   B
  like the wind across the sea-ea

A           C#m
  Howww I'm moving,

A           B           C#m
  beats the devil outta me.

C#m             A
Now I walk this earth to find

  E                  B
a place to rest some peace of mind

C#m         A
I walk on until I'm blind,

  E               B
Until I'm old and grey

C#m          A
So my Friend good luck to you

  E                B
I wish you well in all you do

       C#m              A
here's hopin' that your dreams come true

        E             B
and you never have to say

A           C#m
  I--I keep moving,

A                          E   B
  like the wind across the sea-ea

A           C#m
  Howww I'm moving,

A           B           C#m
  beats the devil outta me.
