Dm
Always had a problem
with the devil
He taken over my life
                Am
but lately i realised
G                    Bm
The devil is the booze

The devils in a bottle
The devils in a can
can`t beat the devil
you always gonna lose

devil taken my job
devil taken family
devil taken all my money
just the devil alone with me

the devil is the booze
can`t beat the devil
always gonna lose

Hey i could never do what you do,play infront of people.Love ya stuff
you are the real thing i`m just a pretender.
That takes guts,good on you!
I just write & record,1 take,no practise, hence plenty of mistakes,bum notes etc. then don`t ever play the song again.
as you can tell by my singing,who would put up with that.
But i love the writing,seem to be full of ideas.
Phill williams has kindly done a couple,great to hear them done by a real musician.

This is just a simple G C D thing.

Woke up this morning
hungry as hell
For breakfast i ate     Apricot pie
at work for tea break
a cup of tea     and apricot pie
lunchtime came around
had a sandwich      and apricot pie
at dinner that night
thought i needed to change
so i ate,    two pieces     of apricot pie
When asked  what my favourite food is
i can not tell a lie
i tell everyone    it`s bacon and eggs.

Don`t let the bastards wear you down
negative people tryin`to
grind you to the ground
Plenty of mean spirited about
surround yourself
with positive people
for they out number by far
glass half full
not half empty
Beware the egotists
distorts their view of life
easy to put others down
makes them feel bigger or better
don`t let these bastards wear you down

Know a man
worked hard all his life
saved for security
put money aside
for his older years
so he wouldn`t go without
became a saving habit
which is good in some ways
but all work and no play
finally took their toll
when a friend said
these fateful words
`ain`t no shops in heaven`
even if money to spend
ain`t no shops in heaven
so have a good time now
ain`t no shops in heaven
and that man is me!

I`ll have a coffee thanks
Yeah i know it costs five bucks
I`ll have a beer thanks
Yeah i know it costs ten bucks
I really like the music here
But i expect that for free

Time to respect the musician
Put some money in his hat

He`s done his time
You only too happy
to pay for other things
beer food and wine

Time to respect the musician
He can`t live on love
Put some money in his hat

I`m sure some of u can relate to this, how about some chords eh?
