INTRO: E - A - E - B / B7 - E
VERSE ONE
E B
I told Mary about her....I told her about a great sin
E
Mary cried and forgave me....then Mary took me back again
A
Said if I wanted my freedom....I could be free ever more
E
But I don't want to be..and I don't want to see
B E
Mary cry any-more
E B E
Oh , devil woman...devil woman let go of me
B B7
Devil woman let me be...and leave me alone
E
I want to go home.
VERSE TWO
E B
Mary is waiting and weeping...Down in our shack by the sea
E
Even after I hurt her...Mary's still in love with me
A
Devil woman it's over...trapped no more by your charm
E
Cause I don't want to stay...I want to get away
B E
Woman let go of my arm
CHORUS

Oh devil woman...devil woman let go of me
B B7
Devil woman let me be...and leave me alone
E
I want to go home.
VERSE THREE
E B
Devil woman your evil..like the dark coral reef
E
Like the winds that bring high tides...you bring sorrow and grief
A
You made me ashamed to face Mary...barely had the strength to tell
E
Skies are not so black...Mary took me back
B E
Mary has broken your spell

Oh devil woman...devil woman let go of me
B B7
Devil woman let me be...and leave me alone
E
I want to go home.
VERSE FOUR
E B
Running along by the seashore...Running as fast as I can
E
Even the seagulls are happy...glad I'm coming home again
A
Never again will I ever...cause another tear to fall
E
Down the beach I see...what belongs to me
B E
The one I want most of all
OUTRO:
