this is from a promotional cd called “tug” , however it’s also on the live “backbooth”
released in 2010 . the live version omits the second verse .
very easy song to play , tabbed for one acoustic .

Em
frequently down at the open air bar
C
the regulars run a dirty jukebo
xbm
and scowl at the weak and the swilled in their mock veneer
Em
and i take my tricks like a miner for coal
C
i shake their hands until the slippery voiced
Bm
waitress lends me a smile and some good advice
she says . .
Em
don’t walk with the devil
C
if you can’t run with him too
Bm
don’t walk with the devil
Em
if you can’t run with him
same pattern through the rest of the song for verses and choruses

well the opulence fades with the bottles and cans
and i eaves drop in on the locals demands
slither down their olives one by one
little they heed the saying that goes
if you talk too loud then you really don’t know
the best words of advice i could never give them
don’t walk with the devil
if you can’t run with him too
don’t walk with the devil
if you can’t run with him
the street is tired and the fever is high
the strangers creep in to the sweet delight
of an unknown comfort of taking in what’s forbidden
yeah it was such a night when the man rolled in
with the gold tooth brow and the silvery grin
i knew for sure salvation was his profession
and he sat next to me , and i could already to tell
he had a question to ask , he had come to collect
on a promise we’d made , and i knew that i’d deliver
and i said . .
don’t walk with the devil
if you can’t run with him too
don’t walk with the devil
if you can’t run with him
don’t walk with the devil
if you can’t run with him too
don’t walk with the devil
if you can’t run with him
and i swallowed my drink , rolled the rust in my mouth
and motioned to him he should follow me out
to the alley in back , i said “step into my office”
and he finally looked at me straight in the eye
i could see his jaw drop and the shudder inside
surprised in the wake of his newest epiphany
he said “sir your not who i thought that you were ,
i never believed and now i’m too sure . i sold you my soul
leave me some words of mercy”
and i whispered . .
don’t walk with the devil
if you can’t run with him too
don’t walk with the devil
if you can’t run with him
don’t walk with the devil
if you can’t run with him too
don’t walk with the devil
if you can’t run with him
