(starts on B) 
|G     G/F#     G/E   G/D  |C          C/B    C/A    C/G 
 I lit out from Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds.  
|G      G/F#   G/E        G/D           | 
 Didn't get to sleep that night till the  
|C       C/B  C/A    C/G 
 morning came around. 
 
<Chorus>: 
|D                     %              | 
 Set out runnin' but I take my time, a 
|C                        %                 | 
 friend of the devil is a friend of mine, if 
|D            %               | 
 I get home before daylight, I 
|C                   %    |D        %|% %| 
 just might get some sleep tonight. 
 
|G      G/F#   G/E    G/D     |C         C/B    C/A    C/G | 
 Ran in-to the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills, .  I 
|G         G/F#     G/E   G/D |C       C/B    C/A    C/G 
 spent the night in Utah, in a cave up in the hills. 
 
<Chorus> 
 
 |G        G/F#   G/E    G/D    |C     C/B       C/A   C/G | 
I ran down to the levee, but the devil caught me there . He 
 
 |G       G/F#   G/E    G/D     |C        C/B    C/A  C/G 
 took my twenty dollar bill and vanished in the air. 
 
<Chorus> 
 
|D               %         |%               %      | 
 Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night, 
|C                       %              | 
 First one's named sweet Anne Marie, and  
|                 %     | 
 she's my hearts delight.

 Second one is prison, baby, the sheriff's on my trail, and 
|C             %               |Am               %    |D %|D7 %| 
 if he catches up with me, I'll spend my life in jail. 
 
|G     G/F#    G/E    G/D      |C      C/B  C/A  C/G    | 
 Got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee.     The      
|G         G/F#       G/E    G/D       | 
 first one says she's got my child, but  
|C        C/B       C/A   C/G | 
 it don't look like me. 
 
<Chorus>
