The Devil Made Me Do It - Rory Gallagher


          D
Well, the devil made me do it, do it, do it,
                           A
The devil made me trip and fall,
    D
The devil drove me to it, to it, to it
              A         D
Till I had no chance at all.

D                  G      D
What did I do that was so bad
   D            A      D
To go and get myself arrested?
D                G         D
Just hit town to have some fun
      D        A      D
But I ended up in the trash can.
D                  G       D
There I was in the witness stand,
   D           A           D
My eyes turned towards the jury,
D                          G          D
Trying to recall what went wrong last night
       D          A          D
But it won't come right back to me.

chorus

The lawyer said, "Son, won't you plead the fifth,
And don't speak unless requested".
Using all the words at his command,
His skills were sorely tested.
Then, to my complete surprise,
They went and called a hostile witness;
The devil himself, well he took the stand
And that's where my case rested

chorus

What did I do that was so bad
To go and get myself arrested?
Well, I was just in town to have some fun
But I ended up in the trash can.
There I was in the witness box,
My eyes turned towards the jury,
Trying to recall what went wrong last night
But it won't come back to me.

Well, the devil drove me to it, to it, to it,
The devil made me trip and fall,
The devil drove me to it, to it, to it
Till I had no chance at all, Till I had no chance at all,
Till I had no mind at all.
