Everybody calls her angel, she's no stranger to the devil, I know
        F                                               C
There's markings on her body, there's fires burning her soul
G                           F                   C
When we're making love he's laughing at us down below
          F        C
She's the devil I know

                   F
She's the devil, I know
                   C
She's the devil, I know
G
Says she comes from heaven
F                     C
Angel is the devil, I know
          F        C
She's the devil, I know

Now she's the kind of woman keep you coming back for more
She's got the kind of face you swear you've seen someplace before
Coulda been your momma, coulda been a Mexican whore
She's the devil I know

She's the devil, I know
She's the devil, I know
Says she comes from heaven
Angel is the devil, I know
She's the devil, I know

/F   /C   /G   /C   /F   /C   /G  F /C   /

Now she'll drag me straight to hell, I can tell, I think I'll just go
The devil said to her to deliver me body and soul
And every inch she drags me down I'm closer to the glow
She's the devil, I know

She's the devil, I know
She's the devil, I know
Says she comes from heaven
Angel is the devil, I know
She's the devil, I know

She's the devil, I know
She's the devil, I know
Says she comes from heaven
Angel is the devil, I know
She's the devil, I know
