Capo 2

Intro Chords:
D   D/C#  D/B   D/A  G  G/F#   Em


D                          G
I lit out from Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds
  D                                        G
I didn't get to sleep that night 'till the morning came around
  A                                     G    
I set out runnin' but I take my time, a friend of the devil is a friend of mine
   A                             G                           A
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight

I ran into the devil and he loaned me twenty bills
I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills
I set out runnin' but I take my time, a friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight

I ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there
He took my twenty dollar bill and vanished in the air
I set out runnin' but I take my time, a friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight


Bridge:
A
I got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
G
The first one's named sweet Anne Marie, and she's my hearts delight
    A
The second one is prison, babe, the sheriff's on my trail
       G                                            A
And if he catches up with me, I'll spend my life in jail


I got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee
The first one says she's got my child but it don't look like me
I set out runnin' but I take my time, a friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight

Bridge

I got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee
The first one says she's got my child but it don't look like me
I set out runnin' but I take my time, a friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight

Not to be too much of a nudge... and while I LOVE Lyle Lovett's songwriting, this song was written by Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter, and John Dawson, and originally performed and recorded by the Grateful Dead (of which Garcia was lead guitarist - and banjo player on the "Old and In The Way" bluegrass/new-grass albums from the '70's...)
