Subject: "The Devil And Me" by "Trick Pony"
Song: "The Devil And Me"
Album: "On A Mission"
Label: WB Records
Written by: Ira Dean and Karen Staley
Performed by: Trick Pony
Note: With the intro, you play D, and then right before
you play D again, you hit the strings so that it
sounds like it stops. Then you play normally when
switching from D to G, and then repeat the stopping
thing with G. It's a little hard to explain if
you haven't heard the CD, but it has a great effect.
****CAPO 2ND FRET****
Intro: D G D G
D A
I'm not the kind that gets around
D A
Just another face in this little town
G A
An everyday man trying to live life right
D A
You wouldn't know it to look at me
D A
I live in silent misery
G A
Or I lead a double life
G
I've battled with the bottle
A D
All alone for years
G
I've lied a thousand lies
A
And I've cried a million tears
G
But I'm too tired to fight it
A D
And too ashamed to pray
A
And I'm sure the Lord must be bored
D
With the promises I've made
G
So I sit here with my secret
D
Where no one else can see
G
And I'll just keep it
A D
Between the Devil and me
D A
Monday morning, here I am
D A
Hiding bottles in the garbage can
G A
I take out the trash and pray no one sees
D A
I keep my family in the dark
D A
Lord knows it would break their hearts
G A
To see their rock be so weak
G
I've had a good old Baptist raisin'
A D
So I've got no good excuse
G
I wish that I was stronger
A
But here's the honest truth
G
I'm just too tired to fight it
A D
And too ashamed to pray
A
And I'm sure the Lord must be bored
D
With the promises I've made
G
So I sit here with my secret
D
Thinkin' no one else can see
G
And I'll just keep it
A D
Between the Devil and me
G
I'm hoping for a miracle
A D
I know that I can change
G
No, I'm not giving up
A
I know there'll come a day
G
When I'm not too tired to fight it
A D
Or too ashamed to pray
A
And I know the Lord won't be bored
D
With the promises I've made
G
I won't live here with my secret
D
Where no one else can see
G
No, I won't keep it
A D
Between the Devil and me
G
No, I won't keep it
A D
Between the Devil and me
