The Devil Made Me Do It The First Time(Chords)

	        A                 D    
Way down in Louisiana 
            A                E 
Amongst the tall grown sugar canes 
        A                D 
Lived a simple man and a dominiker hen 
      E                   A 
And a rose of a different name. 

A                           D 
Well, the first time I felt lightning 
      A                         E 
I was standing in the drizzling rain 
A                           D 
With a trembling hand and a bottle of gin 
      E                   A 
And a rose of a different name. 

A                                 D 
Well, the devil made me do it the first time 
A                               E 
The second time I done it on my own 
A                       D 
Lord, put a handle on a simple headed man 
            E                     A 
And help me leave that black rose alone.

A                        D 
When the devil made that woman 
          A                 E 
Lord, he threw the pattern away 
        A                         D 
She was built for speed with the tools you need 
          E              A 
To make a new fool every day 
. 
A                 D 
Way down deep and dirty 
       A              E 
On the darker side of shame 
A                                  D 
I caught a cane cuttin' man with a bottle of gin 
       E 
With a rose of a different name. 


A                           D 
The devil made me do it the first time 
   A                          E 
The second time I done it on my own 
A                       D 
Lord, put a handle on a simple headed man 
            E                     A 
And help me leave that black rose alone. 

A                           D   
The devil made me do it the first time 
   A                          E 
The second time I done it on my own 
A                       D 
Lord, put a handle on a simple headed man 
            E                     A 
And help me leave that black rose alone.
