She'll talk about the times that she's been with you
D

She'll speak your name to everyone she can She's a devil in disguise You can see it in her eyes She's telling dirty lies She's a devil in disguise, in disguise Unhappiness has been her close companion Her world is full of jealousy and doubt It gets her off to see a person crying She's just the kind that you can't do without She's a devil in disguise You can see it in her eyes She's telling dirty lies She's a devil in disguise, in disguise
Guitar solo
Her number always turns up in your pocket Whenever you are looking for a dime It's all right to call her but I'll bet you The moon is full and your just wasting time She's a devil in disguise You can see it in her eyes She's telling dirty lies She's a devil in disguise, in disguise

Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain The scientists say It will all wash away But we don't believe any more 'Cause we've got our recruits And our green mohair suits So please show your ID at the door This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house It seems like this whole town's insane On the thirty-first floor a gold-plated door Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain A friend came around Tried to clean up this town His ideas made some people mad But he trusted his crowd So he spoke right out loud And they lost the best friend they had This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house It seems like this whole town's insane On the thirty-first floor a gold-plated door Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain

My Uncle

A letter came today from my draft board
Bm

With trembling hands I read the questionnaire
G
A
D
Bm
It asked me lots of things about my mamma and poppa
A
D
Now that ain't what I call exactly fair So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border Vancouver may be just my kind of town 'Cause they don't need the kind of law and order That tends to keep a good man underground A sad old soldier once told me a story About a battlefield that he was on He said a man should never fight for glory He must know what is right and what is wrong So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border Vancouver may be just my kind of town 'Cause they don't need the kind of law and order That tends to keep a good man underground Now I don't know how much I owe my uncle But I suspect it's more than I can pay He's asking me to sign a three year contract I guess I'll catch the first bus out today So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border Vancouver may be just my kind of town 'Cause they don't need the kind of law and order That tends to keep a good man underground
