	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

Chorus:

	Bb                 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]

	/  }  }  /    /     (drum fill)

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]
