C F 

[Verse 1]
C                          F
I lit out from Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds
C                                        F
Didn't get to sleep last night 'til the morning came around.

[Chorus]
G
Set out runnin' but I take my time
  Dm
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
   G                             Dm                  F       G
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.

[Verse 2]
C                             F
Ran into the devil, babe, and he loaned me twenty bills
  C                            F
I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills.

[Chorus]
G
Set out runnin' but I take my time
  Dm
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
   G                             Dm                  F       G
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.

[Verse 3]
  C                             F
I ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there
   C                              F
He took my twenty dollar bill and vanished in the air.

[Chorus]
G
Set out runnin' but I take my time
  Dm
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
   G                             Dm                  F       G
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.

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

[Verse 4]
C                              F
Got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee
    C                                      F
The first one says she's got my child, but it don't look like me.

[Chorus]
G
Set out runnin' but I take my time
  Dm
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
   G                             Dm                  F       G
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.


[Bridge 2]
G
Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night,
    F
The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie, and she's my hearts delight.
    G
The second one is prison, babe, the sheriff's on my trail,
    Dm                             F                G
And if he catches up with me, I'll spend my life in jail.

[Verse 4] 
C                              F
Got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee
    C                                      F
The first one says she's got my child, but it don't look like me.

[Chorus]
G
Set out runnin' but I take my time
  Dm
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
   G                             Dm                  F      G 
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.
