Written by - Robert Earl Keen
Intro: D MajorD A minorAm G+G D MajorD
D MajorD A minorAm C majorC D MajorD
Strapped my guns and courage on set my cattle free
D MajorD FF G+G D MajorD
Rolled a smoke and I made a vow no more to be reviled
D MajorD A minorAm C majorC D MajorD
Combed her hair and laid her out pretty as you please
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
Watched the fire light up the night, crying like a child
D MajorD A minorAm C majorC D MajorD
Saw a man in San Antone shoot down a dancin' queen
D MajorD FF G+G D MajorD
And asked him on his hangin day, what was he thinkin of
D MajorD A minorAm C majorC D MajorD
He said I never liked the way she treated me so mean
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
In the end I'll tell you friend, I did it all for love
CHORUS:
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Stood out on the ragged edge and there I took the fall
D MajorD A minorAm G+G D MajorD
I did it all for love my friend, for love I did it all
D MajorD A minorAm C majorC D MajorD
Just this side of Devil's Dream above the sulphur mine
D MajorD FF G+G D MajorD
I found the man who robbed me of the girl I loved and lost
D MajorD A minorAm C majorC D MajorD
I asked him before he died what made him cross the line
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
He asked me did I mean the line that I just stepped across
CHORUS:
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Stood out on the ragged edge and there I took the fall
D MajorD A minorAm G+G D MajorD
I did it all for love my friend, for love I did it all
B minorBm A augmentedA G+G D MajorD E MajorE E7E7 A augmentedA G+G
I..... Wonder why?
D MajorD A minorAm C majorC D MajorD
I've walked this earth these many years and left a trail of fire
D MajorD FF G+G D MajorD
But once I was a gentle man every bit like you
D MajorD A minorAm C majorC D MajorD
Watched the heavens open up, heard the angel choir
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
Sing the holy song of God, to thine own self be true
CHORUS:
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
Stood out on the ragged edge and there I took the fall
D MajorD A minorAm G+G D MajorD
