#1.
E B
I told Mary about us, I told her about our great sin.
E
Mary cried and forgave me, and Mary took me back again.
A
Said if I wanted my freedom, I could be free evermore.
E B E
But I don't wanna be, and I don't wanna see, Mary cry anymore.
CHORUS:
E B E
Oh, devil woman, devil woman let go of me.
B E B E
Devil woman, let me be, and leave me alone, I wanna go home.
#2.
E B
Mary is waitin' and weepin', down in our shack by the sea.
E
Even after I've hurt her, Mary's still in love with me.
A
Devil woman it's over, I'm trapped no more by your charms.
E B
Cause I don't wanna stay, I wanna get away, woman let go of
E
my arm.
CHORUS:
E B E
Oh, devil woman, devil woman let go of me.
B E B E
Devil woman, let me be, and leave me alone, I wanna go home.
#3.
E B
Devil woman you're evil, like the dark coral reef.
E
Like the winds that bring high tides, you bring sorrow and grief.
A
You made me ashamed to face Mary, I barely had the strength to tell..
E B E
Skies are not so black, Mary took me back, Mary has broken your spell.
CHORUS:
E B E
Oh, devil woman, devil woman let go of me.
B E B E
Devil woman, let me be, and leave me alone, I wanna go home.
#4.
E B
Running along by the seashore, running as fast as I can.
E
Even the seagulls are happy, glad I'm coming home again.
A
Never again will I ever, cause another tear to fall..
E B E
Down the beach I see, what belongs to me, the one I want most of all.
OUTRO:
E B E
Oh, devil woman, devil woman don't follow me.
B E B E
Devil woman, let me be, and leave me alone, I'm goin' back home.
