This is one of my favorite Richard Thompson songs. I've made my best guess

at the chords, and solo tabs would be welcome. I usually play it with a

capo on the second fret because my voice isn't as low as his.
DEVONSIDE
by: Richard Thompson

album: Hand of Kindness
G C G
By Devonside, she was a-marchin'
G C G
It was a gang of no great size
G Bm C G
and "Surrender" was the banner that she carried
G D C G
and hungry was the shiver in her eyes.

(same for the rest of the song)

She met a boy, whose health was failing

She threw down her banner, and took her prize,

And the only food she had was bread and morphine

He fed on the shiver in her eyes

(solo over same chords - 1 verse long)

By Devonside, his love was drifting,

He looked for comfort, otherwise

And there never was a rope or chain about him

She held him with the shiver in her eyes
