Outlaws Prayer chords by Mike Mcclure

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
C# minorC#m           E MajorE
Federales on the border With a wanted poster sign
F# minorF#m            C# minorC#m
Jesse’s picture on it and he’s running out of time
C# minorC#m           E MajorE
Shot a boy in San Diego as he reached down for his gun
F# minorF#m          C# minorC#m
Thought he’d be a hero Well I’m real sorry about that son
C# minorC#m                  E MajorE
But you ain’t the first to try and die since Jesse jumped his bail
F# minorF#m               C# minorC#m
Had a thousand federales waitin’ and hell hounds on his trail

Chorus:
C# minorC#m                  E MajorE
When he said Father please forgive me for the evil that I do
F# minorF#m             G#G#
If you get me safe to Mexico I swear to you I'm through
C# minorC#m                      E MajorE
And if redemption comes in a blaze of bullets I guess that'd be fair
F# minorF#m           G#G#
I ain't afraid of dying I just hope you hear this outlaw's prayer

Verse 2:
C# minorC#m                 E MajorE
Well he crossed the rio grande river where the water was runnin' low
F# minorF#m             C# minorC#m
He heard a federale cry out Jesse's down below
C# minorC#m              E MajorE
And he rode up the other side blind into the night
F# minorF#m                   C# minorC#m
When a bullet knocked him from his horse and he crawled outta sight
C# minorC#m              E MajorE
And as he lay there tremblin' his blood spillin' down his shirt
F# minorF#m            C# minorC#m
He prayed to God Almighty layin' face down in the dirt

Chorus:
C# minorC#m                  E MajorE
When he said Father please forgive me for the evil that I do
F# minorF#m             G#G#
If you get me safe to Mexico I swear to you I'm through
C# minorC#m                      E MajorE
And if redemption comes in a blaze of bullets I guess that'd be fair
F# minorF#m           G#G#
I ain't afraid of dying I just hope you hear this outlaw's prayer

Verse 3:
C# minorC#m             E MajorE
Well he woke up in a mission Layin' on a padre's bed
F# minorF#m             C# minorC#m
Said the federales are long gone I told 'em that you were dead
C# minorC#m            E MajorE
I buried you this morning I put your guns in the ground
F# minorF#m             C# minorC#m
I don't lie without a reason Jesse You best turn your life around
C# minorC#m                  E MajorE
Why this cup passed from your lips son Heaven only knows
F# minorF#m            C# minorC#m
