[Intro] Em Em Em D Em D Em [Verse 1]
       Em
Well I turned and shut my eyes
As you let the gravel fly
       Em         D                    Em
When I looked up you had cleared the driveway

         Em
You and your big cloud of dust
All your chrome and all your rust
G              D                  Em
Beggin' to lay scattered on the highway
[Instrumental] D Em [Verse 2]
       Em
Well I have not forgotten when we may as well be kin

        Em         D            Em
Raising hell from here to Bryan County

        Em
Wishing I could let you in
Give you shelter from the wind
G                  D                 Em
But that hurricane ain't coming down around me
[Chorus]
        G                  D              Am                   Em
Oh well you can curse your fiddle till it breaks down at the binding

G               D               Em
Curse your locomotive off the rail

             G                   D               Am            Em
And all that trouble you've been looking for is easy in the finding

           Em              D      Em
Well the devil's in the fine detail
[Instrumental] Em Em Em D Em D Em [Verse 3]
       Em
Well I nearly took your lead
With your pistol and your speed
         Em       D           Em
Shoot to kill and plan to be forgiven

       Em
But in between the mill
And whatever deer I kill
G               D               Em
Truth be told I barely make a living
[Chorus]
        G                  D              Am                   Em
Oh well you can curse your fiddle till it breaks down at the binding

G               D               Em
Curse your locomotive off the rail

             G                   D               Am            Em
And all that trouble you've been looking for is easy in the finding

           Em             D      Em
Well the devil's in the fine detail
[Bridge]
    G           E             Am      G
And you're somewhere in the Winding Stair

G                                 Em
Thinking you still got a trick or two

           Am                 G              D       Em
And you're planning out your fight in the lantern light

     Am                               Em
But I don't see this going well for you

     Am                               Em
No I don't see this going well for you
[Instrumental] G D Am Em G D Em G D Am Em D Em D Em [Verse 4]
         Em
Well the sheriffs came last night
Is everything alright?
          Em           D        Em
Asked for any help that I can give

         Em
You know we had a falling out
Well now what's this all about
G                     D               Em
They said the man you shot is gonna live
[Chorus]
        G                  D              Am                   Em
Oh well you can curse your fiddle till it breaks down at the binding

G               D               Em
Curse your locomotive off the rail

             G                   D               Am            Em
And all that trouble you've been looking for is easy in the finding

           Em              D      Em
Well the devil's in the fine detail

           Em              D      Em
Well the devil's in the fine detail
