VERSE 1:
      F
  [I] rode myself into the ground, hell it’s almost over now,
  C
    I don’t see nothing but the light
  F
    Darkness filled my days, the rising sun has shown the way, [and]
  C
    I Don’t see nothing but the light

  F
      The preacher’s lesson,     is simply Armageddon,
      G
  The devil, he knows how to ride
  F
     A killer of men,    and no way to save them,
  G
     Hell now we all have to die

  F


CHORUS:
  G
     You wouldn’t think that out here,   a man could simply run clear

     Out of country but, oh my... oh my, [Oh my... oh my]
                         C
  Nothing but the light


INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE:

VERSE 2:
       F
  They took my ears in Omaha, thought me dead but I weren’t all [and I]
  C
     Left them bleeding in the mud
  F
  Branded me for horse thievery, between my eyes for all to see [and I]
  C
     Left them bleeding in the mud

  F
      When this world was made,     [it] was never meant to save
  G
     Everyone in kind
  F
      And I don’t believe,    God much had me
  G
      Had me much in mind

  F

ABRIDGED VERSE 3:
  F
      So tell me barkeep,     What is there to drink
  G
      With just minimal risk
  F
      Of blindness or death,      it all tastes of ashes
  G
      Seems that’s all we ever get,
                   F
  It's all we ever get


REPEAT CHORUS AS FINALE:
