[Verse 1]
C                                                G7
I told Mary about us, I told her about our great sin
                                                  C
Mary cried and forgave me, and Mary took me back again
                             C7                  F
Said if I wanted my freedom, I could be free evermore
                      C                      G7          C
But I don't wanna be, and I don't wanna see, Mary cry anymore
 
 
{ CHORUS }
C         G7                 C
Oh, devil woman, devil woman let go of me
             G7                               C
Devil woman, let me be, and leave me alone, I wanna go home
 
 
[Verse 2]
C                                                     G7
Mary is waitin' and weepin', down in our shack by the sea
                                                    C
Even after I've hurt her, Mary's still in love with me
                       C7                      F
Devil woman it's over, trapped no more by your charms
                          C                  G7                 C
Cause I don't wanna stay,  I wanna get away, woman let go of my arm
 
 
{ CHORUS }
C         G7                 C
Oh, devil woman, devil woman let go of me
             G7                               C
Devil woman, let me be, and leave me alone, I wanna go home
 
 
[Verse 3]
C                                            G7
Devil woman you're evil, like the dark coral reef
                                                           C
Like the winds that bring high tides, you bring sorrow and grief
                                  C7                         F
You made me ashamed to face Mary, barely had the strength to tell
                        C                  G7                   C
Skies are not so black, Mary took me back, Mary has broken your spell
 
 
{ CHORUS }
C         G7                 C
Oh, devil woman, devil woman let go of me
             G7                               C
Devil woman, let me be, and leave me alone, I wanna go home
 
 
[Verse 4]
C                                                   G7
Running along by the seashore, running as fast as I can
                                                   C
Even the seagulls are happy, glad I'm coming home again
                         C7                    F
Never again will I ever, cause another tear to fall
                      C                  G7                       C
Down the beach I see, what belongs to me,  the one I want most of all
 
 
{ CHORUS }
C         G7                 C
Oh, devil woman, devil woman don't follow me
             G7                                 C
Devil woman, let me be, and leave me alone, I'm goin' back home
