  C7                                                  G
Diablo motors had a hell of a sale, downtown yesterday, 
 C7                           A7                       D
Word got around, no money down, take years and years to pay. 
  C7                                                           G
When I got there the lot was bare, but the salesman said hold on. 
    C7      C#dim         G        E      A7    D7       G
For a little cash, I gotta two-tone Nash     out behind the barn. 
 
G                                  A7
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine. 
      D                                       G6       G#dim     D
With a nine foot grand, a ten piece band and a twelve girl Chorus line. 
   G                                              A7
I'd raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime, 
     C     A          G    E7        A           D7      G
If the Devil Danced in empty  pockets, he'd have a ball in mine. 
 
  C7                                                               G
Well he said friend ya know it ain't the end let's see what I can do. 
     C7                           A7              D
If you own a home, I've got a loan, tailor made for you. 
    C7                                                            G
Then above the racket a voice in my jacket said, "I'll tote the note." 
    C7          C#dim         G            E       A7       D7      G
The devil made me do it, talked me  in    to it, and that was all she wrote. 
 
G                                  A7
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine. 
       D                                      G6       G#dim       D
With a nine foot grand, a ten piece band and a twelve girl Chorus line. 
   G                                              A7
I'd raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime, 
     C     A          G    E7        A           D7      G
If the Devil Danced in empty  pockets, he'd have a ball in mine. 
 
Em                                         B7            Em
They say debt is a bottomless pit where the devil likes to play. 
                                            A7               D
I'd sell my soul to get out of this hole, but there'd be hell to pay. 
 
G                                  A7
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine. 
       D                                      G6       G#dim       D
With a nine foot grand, a ten piece band and a twelve girl Chorus line. 
   G                                              A7
I'd raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime, 
     C     A          G    E7        A           D7      G
If the Devil Danced in empty  pockets, he'd have a ball in mine.
