Verse 1:

Eb Bb Eb
The Devil came from Kansas
Bb Eb
Where he went to I can't say
Ab Eb
Though I teach I'm not a preacher
Ab Eb
And I aim to stay that way
Bb Eb
There's a monkey riding on my back
Bb Eb
Been there for some time
Ab Cm
He says he knows me very well
Fm Ab Eb
But he's no friend of mine

Chorus:

Bb Eb
I am not a humble pilgrim
Ab Ab7 Db
There's no need to scrape and squeeze
Gb Ab Bb
And don't beg for silver paper
F Ab Eb
When I'm trying to sell you cheese

Bb Eb Ab (Eb)

Verse 2:

The Devil came from Kansas
Where he went to I can't say
If you really are my brother
Then you better start to pray
For the sins of those departed
And the ones about to go
There's a dark cloud just above us
Don't scowl because I know

[repeat chorus]

Guitar solo:

Verse 3:

Though I never came from Kansas
Don't forget to thank the cook
Which reminds me of my duty
I was lost though now I look
For the turning and the signpost
And the road which takes you down
To that pool inside the forest
In whose waters I shall drown

[repeat chorus]

Coda [guitar solo; repeat to fade]
