Song: The Devil To Pay Tab
Written by Leon Rusk & Merle Travis
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES:
- Played with capo on 5th Fret
- Even though the key of this song is in C, the tab intro and chords are
played with chord shapes in the key of G.
- The ~ indicates that you slide to the next note.
The ^ indicates that you hammer-on the next note.
- I believe (though i'm not 100%) that the acoustic intro and fills were
played by Norman Blake

G Em
Go on, girl, take your chances
A7 D
See how long you can go on from man to man
B7 Em
I can read the lines between your stolen glances
A A7 D
And I know it's time to fold this losing hand
G D
'Cause you're drawn to the flame
G D
By the thrill and the shame
G C D
Of the cheating game they taught you how to play
G B7 Em C
You've got nothing to lose but your soul girl
G D (Intro Riff - or just play Em)
And you've still got the devil to pay
D D7 G D G
You've been flying so high you don't know that you're blind to the writing- on the wall
A A7 D D7
But someday you'll look down & you'll find you've got no place to fall
G D
When the bright lights are gone
G D
You'll be standing alone
G C D
Forsaken in the naked light of day
G B7 Em C
Then you'll know that it's all over but the dying
G D (Intro Riff - or just play Em)
And you've still got the devil to pay.
Join your friends, while you got 'em
'Cause you know you're getting fewer every day
You can't wait to let them take you to the bottom
And I'm getting tired of standing in your way
But when you hit the ground
Don't go lookin' around
For the pieces of the love you threw away
That's the price of the high life you're livin'
And you've still got the devil to pay.
You've been flying so high you don't know that you're blind to the writing- on the wall
But someday you'll look down & you'll find you've got no place to fall
When your bright lights are gone
You'll be standing alone
Forsaken in the naked light of day
Then you'll know that it's all over but the dying
And you've still got the devil to pay.
