    Me and the Devil was walking side by side
  • Me and the Devil was walking side by side
    I'm goin' to beat my woman until I get satisfied
     
  • She say you don't see why that I will dog her 'round
    She say you don't see why that I will dog her 'round
    It must be that ol' evil spirit so deep down in the ground
  •  
    You my burn my body down by the highway side
    You my burn my body down by the highway side
  • So my old evil spirit can get a Greyhound bus and ride
     
    The above is a very easy way to play that Robert Johnson song.
  • For a more detailed transcription I would recommend:
    Scott Ainslie's "Robert Johnson complete guitar transcription".
    It's NOT a book for beginners!
