Azar/Masters/Douglas
Album: Waitin' On Joe


CAPO I


INTRO: E

E
Flyin' down a flat track, bottle in a brown sack
E
Pistons pumpin' in a poor boy's Cadillac
 A                                            E
Across the Mississippi, crazy in the pale moonlight
    B                          A              E
I'm goin' to beat the devil to see my angel tonight


Gotta go, can't stop, smokin' like a chimney top
Heart's on fire got me heated up real hot
Burnin' down the pile like a lit stick of dynamite
Said I'm goin 'to beat the devil to see my angel tonight


BRIDGE:
               A                                            E
Well there's a little piece of heavy down a snaky Louisiana road
A                                           B                   D  D/A
Sweeter than the taste of homemade wine and hotter than tobasco


Tearin' down the retreads, right foot full of lead
Ain't slowin' down for alligators, copperheads
Like a runaway train, barrelin' down the line
I'm gonna be the devil to see my angel tonight (get outta my way)


SOLO: A  E  A  E


BRIDGE


Skeeter filled swampland, shaky bridge, quicksand
Runnin' over pot holes fast as I can
One left headlight leadin' me to paradise
I'm goin' to beat the devil to see my angel tonight

Said I'm goin' to beat the devil to see my angel tonight
Yeah I'm goin' to beat the devil to see my angel tonight
