  G      G/F#     G/E   G/D    C        C/B        C/A  C/G
  I lit out from Reno I was trailed by twenty hounds
  G       G/F#         G/E  G/D             C      C/B    C/A  C/G
  Didn't get to sleep that night till the morning came around
  
  CHORUS:
  D
  Set out runnin' but I take my time
    Am
  a friend of the devil is a friend of mine
     D
  If I get home before day light
    Am                          D    riff 1 (as D -> G)
  I just might get some sleep tonight
  
  Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills
  I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills ...CHORUS
  
  Ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there
  took my twenty dollar bill and he vanished in the air ...CHORUS
  
  BRIDGE:
  riff 2  D
         Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
      C/G
  The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie and she's my heart's delight
  D
  Second one is prison, baby, the shefiff's on my trail
      Am                            C                D   riff 3 (D -> G)
  and if he catches up with me I'll spend my life in jail
  
  Got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee
  First one says she's got my child, but it don't look like me
  ...CHORUS
