For Love - Railroad Earth
Written by - Robert Earl Keen

Intro:  D  Am  G  D

D                    Am         C             D
Strapped my guns and courage on set my cattle free
D                    F             G          D
Rolled a smoke and I made a vow no more to be reviled
D                   Am           C             D
Combed her hair and laid her out pretty as you please
Em                     C             G             D
Watched the fire light up the night, crying like a child

D            Am          C                   D
Saw a man in San Antone shoot down a dancin' queen
D                    F            G                   D
And asked him on his hangin day,  what was he thinkin of
D               Am            C                 D
He said I never liked the way she treated me so mean
Em              C                G                 D
In the end I'll tell you friend,  I did it all for love

CHORUS:
G                D               A                Bm    A  G
Stood out on the ragged edge and there I took the fall
D                Am              G                 D
I did it all for love my friend, for love I did it all

D                  Am            C                 D
Just this side of Devil's Dream above the sulphur mine
D                     F               G               D
I found the man who robbed me of the girl I loved and lost
D             Am            C                      D
I asked him before he died what made him cross the line
Em                 C             G                      D
He asked me did I mean the line that I just stepped across

CHORUS:
G                D               A                Bm    A  G
Stood out on the ragged edge and there I took the fall
D                Am              G                 D
I did it all for love my friend, for love I did it all

Bm  A  G  D              E     E7      A    G
I.....                   Wonder why?

D                            Am            C             D
I've walked this earth these many years and left a trail of fire
D                 F         G               D
But once I was a gentle man every bit like you
D                   Am       C               D
Watched the heavens open up, heard the angel choir
Em             C              G                   D
Sing the holy song of God, to thine own self be true

CHORUS:
G                D               A                Bm    A  G
Stood out on the ragged edge and there I took the fall
D                Am              G                 D
