Verse 1:
[Eb] The D[Bb]evil came from Kansas [Eb]
Where he w[Bb]ent to I can't say [Eb]
Though [Ab]I teach I'm not a preacher [Eb]
And I [Ab]aim to stay that way [Eb]
There's a m[Bb]onkey riding on my b[Eb]ack
Been t[Bb]here for some time [Eb]
He s[Ab]ays he knows me very w[Cm]ell
But h[Fm]e's no friend of m[Ab]ine [Eb]
Chorus:
[Bb]I am not a humble p[Eb]ilgrim
There's no n[Ab]eed to sc[Ab7]rape and sq[Db]ueeze
And don't [Gb]beg [Ab] for silver p[Bb]aper
When I'm t[F]rying to [Ab] sell you ch[Eb]eese
[Bb]/ } } [Eb]/ [Ab]/ } } [Eb] /
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
(repeat chorus)
Guitar solo:

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
(repeat chorus)
Coda (guitar solo; repeat to fade)
