[Verse 1] C7G Diablo motors had a hell of a sale, downtown yesterday, C7A7D Word got around, no money down, take years and years to pay. C7G When I got there the lot was bare, but the salesman said hold on. C7C#dimG/DB7/D#EA7D7G For a little cash, I gotta two-tone Nash out behind the barn.
[Chorus] GA7 If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine. DG6G#dimAm With a nine foot grand, a ten piece band and a twelve girl chorus line. DGA I'd raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime, G/BCA/C#G/DB/D#E7AD7G If the Devil Danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine.
[Verse 2] C7G Well he said friend it ain't the end let's see what I can do. C7A7D If you own a home, I've got a loan, tailor made for you. C7G Then above the racket a voice in my jacket said, "I'll tote the note." C7C#dimG/DB7/D#EA7D7G The devil made me do it, talked me in to it, and that was all she wrote.
[Chorus] GA7 If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine. DG6G#dimAm With a nine foot grand, a ten piece band and a twelve girl chorus line. DGA I'd raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime, G/BCA/C#G/DB/D#E7AD7G If the Devil Danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine.
[Bridge] EmB7Em They say debt is a bottomless pit where the devil likes to play. A7D I'd sell my soul to get out of this hole, but there'd be hell to pay.
[Chorus] GA7 If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine. DG6G#dimAm With a nine foot grand, a ten piece band and a twelve girl chorus line. DGA I'd raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime, G/BCA/C#G/DB/D#E7AD7G If the Devil Danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine.
