Capo 1st fret


Intro:

Gm  F  Gm  Gm


Verse 1:
Gm
Well, I'm a wanted man running hard
  F
A convict to the state of heart
Gm                            Gm
If I'm found I'll hang by the neck
Gm
With a gun in hand and an early start
F

Saddled up with a little tar
      Gm                          Gm
Cause when I ride I ain't looking back


Chorus:
Gm
Cowboy gunning like an outlaw
F
Madman running from the Lord's call
Gm                                   Gm
Good old shepherd's calling home his sheep
Gm
Bad boy hit the end of his rope
F
Sad man slipping on a death slope
Gm                                   Gm
"Lord", he's praying, "my sin wasn't cheap


Verse 2:
Gm
Well, I'm looking back
too far
   F
My saddle's covered in this tar
    Gm                              Gm
And midday heat is scorching my dry throat
Gm
Oh, I played the man but don't look the part
     F
That old horse threw me seven yards
    Gm                            Gm
And landed with a mouthful of hot dirt


Chorus:
Gm
Well's a cowboy gunning like an outlaw
F
Madman running from the Lord's call
Gm                                   Gm
Good old shepherd's calling home his sheep
Gm
Bad boy hit the end of his rope
F
Sad man slipping on a death slope
Gm                                   Gm
"Lord", he's praying, "my sin wasn't cheap

Verse 3:
Gm
Well, I'm dragging myself in the dark
    F
The moonbeam's bright beside the stars
     C                           Gm
As a cry out to God that I don't know
Gm
Well I'm afraid Lord I need heaven's part
          F
He said, "Son I'll save you right where you are"
    C                             Gm
Now wicked man got freedom to his soul
