 Verse 1:
 
 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                 Eb    
 I am not a humble pilgrim
             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
 
 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)

 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)
