Christy Moore - The Foxy Devil lyrics

A (Capo up 2) [A] When I was young and [D] handy in my [A] prime In taverns I would [D] sit and bide my [E] time It's [A] there I met your [D] company I'd sit and drink my [E] fill. It's [A] there that you took [D] hold of me I think you've got me [E] still. CHORUS [A] You're the foxy [D] devil when you [A] like You set my mind at [D] ease and then you [E] strike You [A] set me head a-[D]-reeling You make me shout and [E] sing. My [A] memory flees, I [D] get no ease Till I have a little [E] drink. [A] You're the crafty [D] rogue and that's for [A] sure For your compan-[D]-y there is no [E] cure I've [A] squandered all my [D] money And the best days of my [E] life. All [A] on your charms, in [D] spite of harm In spite of peace and [E] strife. [A] Whiskey in the [D] morning or at [A] night Gives strength to sing and [D] dance, to love and [E] fight And [A] so despite mis-[D]-fortune I'll take you as you [E] are - The [A] best of friends and [D] enemies The best I've known by [E] far. CHORUS
