The Devil In Mexico

Intro 

         Am                      G                     F                         Em 
Well I'll take two shots said the devil to the man, and laid a little book on the bar 
    Am                      G                   F                           Am 
The lord knows the devil he only talks shit and only drinks whisky from the jar 
        Dm         Am           Em        Am 
And his hands were raw and his eyes were cold 
        Dm              Am              Em 
And his breath was pure alcohol and the sound of his voice it never got old 
       Dm         Am         Em                 Am 
And he talked and talked and talked through the night 
     Dm         Am             Em      Am 
Kept sippin his shine till the morning light 
        Dm             Am               Em         Am 
Tumbled in through the shades and as he started to go 
  F         Em             Am 
I put three bullets in his back

         Am                         G                    F 
Well the devil's bleedin' crude oil   from a hole in his chest. 
         Am                   G                          F 
And It's pangin on the bedpan   drippin' through the bed sheets. 
            Am                         Dm 
And all the buisnessmen    are putting pails beneath his wounds. 
    Em                        F 
And pawnin' the oil    at the market.

         Am                  G                    F 
Well his heart ain't made of nothin' but piss and vinegar 
        Am                  G                   F 
And his boots have trampled more than you would know 
        Am              C              Dm 
And his breath has split open    the thermometer on the sill 
        Em                   F 
It's so fucking cold in here since you brought in the snow. 
 

 
   Am       Bm          D7/F#         F6 
      Black heart   leaking oil in the pan 
              Am               Bm            D7/F#           F6 
      Dealin' insults with his free hand in this hospital bed bleedin' 
   Am       Bm    D7/F#             F6 
      Black heart       you shot the plan to hell 
              Am      Bm       D7/F#      F6 
      And the apathy  ate you up inside.

         Am                           G          F              Em 
Like slivers of lead inside your food   he's the poison inside you 
       Am                  G           F                 Em 
And you eat until you're full  and you eat until you're full 
           Am                  G             F                   Em 
He lit the fires inside your belly  full of medicine and whiskey 
            Am     G       F                    Em         Am 
All the aspirin,   Valium  Codeine pills  and silver rum
