Devil's Den - India Ramey
Chords played in her live performance with
Juke-Box Sessions in 2017
[Verse 1]
Am C
Well it's a postcard town if you're looking with a naked eye
Am Em Am
But if you look a little closer it's got a dark and evil side
C
All around the edges that's where the devil dwells
Am Em Am
If you were born on the wrong side of the corn you know it all too well
[Verse 2]
Am C
Well the police chief's the cocaine king-pin of the whole damn county
Am Em Am
He gets his picture in the paper then sells half of what he's imounded
C
He's got whatever you want as long as you've got the money
Am Em Am
If you're a pretty young thing he'll let you pay him with your body
[Chorus]
G Am
If you're passing through keep on driving
C Am
If you were born here that's where you're dying
G Em C Am
If you ever get the chance you better get out while you can
Em Am
You don't want to be caught dead in the devil's den
[Verse 3]
Am C
Well there's a trailer just a couple miles up the road
Am Em Am
It's got a stove pipe sticking out the bathroom window
C
They ain't slept in days, they've been whipping up another batch
Am Em Am
They'll mix it up in the same tub they give the baby a bath
[Chorus]
G Am
If you're passing through keep on driving
C Am
If you were born here that's where you're dying
G Am C Am
If you ever get the chance you better get out while you can
Em Am
You don't want to be caught dead in the devil's den

C Am Em Am
[Verse 4]
Am G
Across town a rich lawyer's got a big house on the hill
Am Em Am
He's got a pretty young wife who gets it all in the will
Am C
She's got a dirt-poor piece of ass on the side
Am Em Am
Who's going to show him tonight he's worth more dead than alive
[Chorus]
G Am
If you're passing through keep on driving
C Am
If you were born here that's where you're dying
G Em C Am
If you ever get the chance you better get out while you can
Em Am
You don't want to be caught dead in the devil's den
