Devil woman

1. I told Mary about
us, I told her about our great sin,
A7 D
Mary cried and forgave me, then Mary took
me back again.
D7
G
Said if I wanted my freedom, I could be
free ever more,
\ D A D
but I don't want to be, and I don't want to see Mary cry anymore.
A A7

A A7 D
Devil woman let me
be, and leave me alone, I want to go home.

2. Mary is waitin'
and weepin', down in our shack by the sea,
A7 D
even after I've hurt her, Mary's still in
love with me.
D7
G
Devil woman, it's over, trapped no more by
your charms,
\ D
cause I don't want to stay, I want to get away,
A D
woman let go of my arm. + CHORUS
D A
3. Devil woman you're
evil, like the dark coral reef,
A7 D
like the winds that bring high tides, you
bring sorrow and grief.
D7 G
Made me ashamed to face Mary, barely had
the strength to tell.
\ D
Skies are not so black, Mary took me back,
A D
Mary has broken your spell. + CHORUS
D

4. Running along by
the seashore, running as fast as I can,
A7 D
even the seagulls are happy, glad I'm
coming home again.
D7 G
Never again will I ever cause another tear
to fall,
\ D
down the beach I see, what belongs to me,
A D
the one I want most of all.
A A7 D
Oh, devil woman, devil woman don't follow
me,
A A7 D
devil woman let me be, and leave me alone,
I'm going back home.
