Eb Bb Eb
The Devil came from Kansas
Bb Eb
Where he went to I can't say
Ab Eb
Though I teach I'm not a preacher
Ab Eb
And I aim to stay that way
Bb Eb
There's a monkey riding on my back
Bb Eb
Been there for some time
Ab Cm
He says he knows me very well
Fm Ab Eb
But he's no friend of mine
[Chorus]
Bb Ab Eb
I am not a humble pilgrim
Db Ab Ab7 Db
There's no need to scrape and squeeze
Gb Ab Bb
And don't beg for silver paper
F Ab Eb
When I'm trying to sell you cheese

[Verse 2]
The Devil came from Kansas
Where he went to I can't say
If you really are my brother
Then you better start to pray
For the sins of those departed
And the ones about to go
There's a dark cloud just above us
Don't scowl because I know
[Chorus]
Bb Ab Eb
I am not a humble pilgrim
Db Ab Ab7 Db
There's no need to scrape and squeeze
Gb Ab Bb
And don't beg for silver paper
F Ab Eb
When I'm trying to sell you cheese

[Verse 3]
Though I never came from Kansas
Don't forget to thank the cook
Which reminds me of my duty
I was lost though now I look
For the turning and the signpost
And the road which takes you down
To that pool inside the forest
In whose waters I shall drown
[Chorus]
Bb Ab Eb
I am not a humble pilgrim
Db Ab Ab7 Db
There's no need to scrape and squeeze

And don't beg for silver paper

When I'm trying to sell you cheese
