Introduction: E A E A E A E A
E
You talk of all the many things that you have
A
And you smile from day to day
E
But no one has ever seen any of these
A
And those smiles just fade away
E
Someone keeps shouting out 'I want to know'
A
Well I can't help singing this song
E
When they tell me that the devil is a gentleman too
A
I know I can't go wrong
Bm
I have to slip away today
F#m
I've been invited down to stay
G#m A
Yes I feel my going down
E
They say that eight fishes call men in the sea
A
And use man-made for the bait
E
And shoots all the people that fly in the sky
A
That chance on his estate
E
That feeds on salmon, that just has to be seen
A
And none but he can do
E
They tell me this and they tell me that
A
And tell me this is always, always something new
Bm
You'd better believe it's so
F#m
I made up my mind to go
G#m A
A whole world waits for you
E
I'll sit with my head thrust down on your knees
A
And smile for you again
E
And you won't have to worry about anything now
A
I'll be halfway there by ten
E
It only takes a moment to decide on the move
A
It all seems so absurd
E
Still I know that the devil is a gentleman too
A
Who never keeps his word
Bm
I made up my mind to go
F#m
You'd better believe it's so
G#m
A whole world waits for me
