Verse 1:
C7 G
Diablo motors had a hell of a sale, downtown yesterday,

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/D B7/D# E A7 D7 G
For a little cash, I gotta two-tone Nash out behind the barn.
Chorus
G A7
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine.
D G6 G#dim Am
With a nine foot grand, a ten piece band and a twelve girl chorus line.
D G A
I'd raise some loot in a three piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime,
G/B C A/C# G/D B/D# E7 A D7 G
If the Devil Danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine.
Verse 2:
C7 G
Well he said friend it ain't the end let's see what I can do.

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."

The devil made me do it, talked me in to it, and that was all she wrote.
Chorus

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.
Chorus
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official JOE DIFFIE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
