Devil came from kansas — Procol Harum

Verse

The Devil came from Kansas Where he went to I can't say Though I teach I'm not a preacher And I aim to stay that way There's a monkey riding on my back Been there for some time He says he knows me very well But he's no friend of mine

Chorus

I am not a humble pilgrim There's no need to scrape and squeeze And don't beg for silver paper When I'm trying to sell you cheese

Verse

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

Repeat Chorus

Guitar solo: Bb Eb Bb Eb [3X]

Verse

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

Repeat Chorus

Coda: Bb Eb Bb Eb
