[Intro]
| E7 | E7 | E7 | E7 |
[Verse 1]
E7 E7
He walked in like a tomcat lookin' for prey
E7 E7
All trouble and muscle and sly
E7 E7
He was a bad boy, James Dean, drove up on a Harley
B7 B7
He could spot a sucker at a hundred miles
E7 E7
He'd say he was lonely, oh if he could only
G#7 A7
Find love he would change his ways
A7 E7 C#7
He take her heart of gold and her big bank roll
A7 B7 E7 E7 E7 E7
Same old devil, different face
[Verse 2]
E7 E7
He was sweet as his Mama's apple pie
E7 E7
Long and tall and tight blue jeans
E7 E7
He'd hold the door open, all the while hopin'
B7 B7
He could get himself a hot little lovin' piece
E7 E7
He was lookin' for a sweet deal, didn't want the whole meal
G#7 A7
Just wanted a little taste
A7 E7 C#7
With every girl in sight, those county lines
A7 B7 E7 E7
That same old devil, different face
[Chorus]
A7 A7
Well, I'll escape hellfire, hire me a choir
E7 E7
Do whatever it takes
F#7 F#7
I'm gonna call on Jesus get down on my knees
B7 N.C. B7
Pray, "Lord have mercy, keep the devil away"
E7 E7
If he comes knockin' around my door
G#7 A7
I'll be singin' Amazing Grace
A7 E7 C#7
'Cause any shape or size I'd recognise
A7 B7 E7 E7 E7 E7
That same old devil, different face
[Verse 3]
E7 E7
He was slick as a suit in a jet black Jag
E7 E7
Faster than a New York minute
E7 E7
Big shot man, as fake as his tan
B7 B7
But even plastic surgery couldn't change his image
E7 E7
He swaggered and he slithered with the cocktail crowd
G#7 A7
Dealin' business cards all over the place
A7 E7 C#7
Buyin' drinks for the ladies, callin' everybody, "Baby"
A7 B7 E7 E7
That same old devil, different face
[Chorus]
A7 A/
Oh, I'll escape hellfire, hire me a choir
E7 E7
Do whatever it takes
F#7 F#7
I'm gonna call on Jesus get down on my knees
B7 N.C. B7
Pray, "Lord have mercy, keep the devil away"
E7 E7
If he comes knockin' around my door
G#7 A7
I'll be singin' Amazing Grace
A7 E7 C#7
'Cause any shape or size I'd recognise
A7 B7 E7
That same old devil, different face
[Outro]
A7 B7 E7 E7 E7
That same old devil, just a different face, yeah
E7 E7 E7 E7 E7
He's just the same old devil, sister
