EVIL
As recorded by The Charlie Daniels Band
(From the 1975 Album NIGHTRIDER) [Intro] Em A Em A Em D N.C. A N.C. G Em [Verse 1]
Em
I was born way back in the woods & swamp

Em
On the Hickory River shore

Em
In a dirty old one-room pine-log shack

Em
With sawdust on the floor

Em
Was a graveyard out in the back of the house

Em
And a skull up over the door

Em
I been handling snakes since I was three

Em
And I ain't going to take it no more
[Chorus]
Em          A
Because I'm evil

                     Em
Keeps pouring out of me

           A
I said I'm evil

                     Em
Keeps pouring out of me

D5 N.C.              A5 N.C. G5       E5  N.C. E5
All my life I've been  evil  as I can be

Em
My daddy was a Louisiana mojo man

Em
The devil followed him around

Em
You always know when grass wouldn't grow

Em
Where his foot wouldn't touch the ground

Em
My momma could snap her fingers

Em
And make the fire come tumbling down

Em
I'm the seventh son of the seventh son

Em
You better not mess around
[Chorus]
Em         A
I said I'm evil

                     Em
Keeps pouring out of me

           A
I said I'm evil

                     Em
Keeps pouring out of me

D5 N.C.              A5 N.C. G5       E5  N.C. E5
All my life I've been  evil  as I can be
