The Rogue

 
G                                                         Am 
Now I've been a rogue and I've lived by the sword all of my life. 
          D 
I've been used and misused, fought with some bad dudes, 
                          G 
and cut with a long razor knife. 

And I've woke in places with soft pretty faces, 
                                    C 
and I've loved them and left on the run. 
         D 
Oh it's hard on your health, but the devil himself, 
                             G 
couldn't stop me if he had a gun. 
 

 
          C                                                 G 
While the whole world lies sleeping, I'm out here slipping around. 
C 
I could be hung, for the things that I've done. 
      A                   D 
And I will be if I'm ever found out. 
      G 
But I do what I do well, and I never do tell, 
                              C 
and I can't leave the ladies alone. 
     D 
It's hard on your health, but the devil himself, 
                             G 
couldn't stop me if he had a gun. 
 

 
G                                                     Am 
Now I've been on top, and been down on my luck, oh my friend 
     D 
I've done what I've pleased, whenever I pleased, 
                         G 
Laid there and done it again. 

All you rogues out there know what the ladies love so. 
                      C 
Get up, and go get it on. 
     D 
It's hard on your health, but the devil himself, 
                             G 
couldn't stop me if he had a gun.

Oh it's hard on your health, the old devil himself,
