Pickin' To Beat The Devil Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I make my rounds of
[C]the country churches
[G]Playing my guitar [D]for free
My [G]repertoire is [C]one hundred ninety
[G]Songs to [D]God's [G]glory

[Verse 2]
Now, I'm [G]pickin' to beat [C]the devil
And you [G]know he's on my [D]tail
And the [G]Lord's in my fin[C]gers
[G]He won't [D]let me [G]fail

[Verse 3]
[G]I found myself in [C]a roadside bar room
I was [G]drinking my time [D]away
[G]Kentucky woman and
[C]Tennessee whiskey
It's [G]gonna be [D]hell to pay

[Verse 4]
[G]A worn out Chevy and a b[C]eat up Martin
[D]Is [G]all I'll ever [D]own
My [G]worthless life is [C]dedicated
[G]To bringing God's [D]children [G]home

[Verse 5]
Now, I'm [G]pickin' to beat the [C]devil
And you [G]know he's on my [D]tail
And the [G]Lord's in my [C]fingers
[G]He won't [D]let me fail

[Verse 6]
[G]Fourteen songs and a tem
[C]perance sermon
That's [G]what a good meal [D]buys
For a [G]little extra there's a [C]guitar solo
Called, [G]'Reward [D]In [G]The Sky'

[Verse 7]
Now, [G]I'm pickin' to beat [C]the devil
And you [G]know he's on my [D]tail
And the [G]Lord's in my fin[C]gers
And [G]He won't [D]let me [G]fail

[Verse 8]
Yes, I'm [G]pickin' to beat the [C]devil
And you [G]know he's on my [D]tail
And the [G]Lord [C]is [G]in my finger[C]s
And [G]He [D]won't let [Em]me fa[G]il
