Текст (слова) песни: kristofferson kris - to beat the devil | guitar chord и Mp3

****************** TO BEAT THE DEVIL ******************

written and performed by Kris Kristofferson.
Verse 1:(spoken)
G C/G G
It was winter time in Nashville,down on music city row
D C/G
And i was lookin` for a place to get myself out of the cold
G Em C/G
To warm the frozen feelin` that was eatin` at my soul
D
And keep the chilly wind off my guitar
Verse 2:(spoken)
G C/G G
My thirsty wanted whisky,my hungry needed beans
D
But it`d been of month of paydays since i`ve heard that eagle scream
C/G G Em C/G
So with my stomach full of empty and my pockets full of dreams
D
I left my pride and stepped inside a bar
Bridge:(spoken)
Em C/G
Actually i guess you`d could call it a Tavern...
D
Cigarette smoke to the ceiling and stardust on the floor
G
Friendly shadows
Verse 3:(spoken)
G C/G G
I saw that there was just one old man sittin` at the bar
D C/G
And in the mirror i could see him checkin` me and my guitar
G Em C/G
He turned,and said "Come up here boy,and show us what you are"
D
I said "I`m dry"-and he brought me a beer
Verse 1-bis:(spoken)
G C/G G
He nodded at my guitar and said "It`s a tough life,ain`t it"
D C/G
I just looked at him,and he said "You ain`t makin` any money,are you?"
G Em C/G
I said "You`ve been readin` my mail".He just smiled and said "Let me see your guitar"
C/G G
I`ve got something you want to hear.Then he laid it on me
Verse sang 1:
G C/G
If you waste your time of talkin` to the people who don`t listen
G D
To the things that you are sayin`,who do you think`s gonna hear
G C/G
And if you should die explaining how the things that they complain about
G D G
Are things they could be changin` who do you think`s gonna care
D C/G G
There were other lonely singers in a world turned deaf and blind
D
Who were crucified for what they tried to show
G C/G G
And their voice`s have been scattered by this world and winds of times
D G
Cause the truth remains that no one wants to know
Verse 4:(spoken)
G C/G G
Well,the old man was a stranger,but i`d heard his song before
D C/G
Back when failure had me locked out on the wrong side of the door
G Em C/G
When no one stood behind me but my shadow on the floor
D
And lonesome was more than a state of mind
Verse 2-bis:(spoken)
G C/G G
You see,the devil haunts a hungry man,and if you don`t wanna join him
D C/G
You got to beat him
G Em C/G
I ain`t sayin` i beat the devil but i drank his beer for nothing
G
Then i stole his song
Verse sang 2:
G C/G
And you still can hear me singin` to the people who don`t listen
G D
To the things that i am sayin`,prayin` someones gonna hear
G C/G
And i guess i`ll die explainig how the things that they complain about
G D G
Are things they could be changin`,hopin` someones gonna care
D C/G G
I was born a lonely singer,and i`m bound to die the same
D
But i`ve got to feed the hunger in my soul
G C/G G
And if i never have a nickle i won`t ever die ashamed
D G
Cause i don`t believe that no one wants to know

Thanks to Jan Ekeland for the lyrics.
