Garcia/Hunter
|| G . | C . | G . ||
VERSE 1
[G]I lit out from Reno, I was [C]trailed by twenty [G]hounds
Didn’t get to sleep last night till the [C]morning came a[G]round.
CHORUS
[D]Set out runnin’ but I take my time
A fr[Am]iend of the devil is a friend of mine
If [D]I get home before daylight,
[Am]just might get some sleep — to[D]night [Dsus][D][D]
VERSE 2
[G]Ran into the devil, babe, he [C]loaned me twenty [G]bills
[G]I spent the night in Utah in a [C]cave up in the [G]hills.
CHORUS
[D]Set out runnin’ but I take my time
A [Am]friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If [D]I get home before daylight,
[Am]just might get some sleep — to[D]night [Dsus4][D][D]
VERSE 3
[G]I ran down to the levee but the [C]devil caught me [G]there
[G]He took my twenty-dollar bill and [C]vanished in the [G]air.
CHORUS
[D]Set out runnin’ but I take my time
A [Am]friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If [D]I get home before daylight,
[Am]just might get some sleep — to[D]night [Dsus][D][D]
BRIDGE
[D]Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night,
The [C]first ones name sweet Anne Marie, and she’s my hearts delight
[D]Second one is prison, babe, the sheriffs on my trail,
And [Am]if he catches up with me, I’ll [C]spend my life
in [D]jail. [Dsus4][D][D]
VERSE 4
[G]Got a wife in Chino, babe, and [C]one in Chero[G]kee
[G]The first one says she’s got my child, but [C]it don’t look like [G]me.
CHORUS
[D]Set out runnin’ but I take my time
A fr[Am]iend of the devil is a friend of mine
If [D]I get home before daylight,
[Am]just might get some sleep — to[D]night [Dsus4][D][D]
REPEAT VERSE 4
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.
CHORUS
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.
