D MajorD
Put the horses in the stable
            A augmentedA Asus4Asus4
Load the mules on the train
D MajorD
Set your pistols on the table
A augmentedA      G+G      D MajorD
Leave the dogs out in the rain
D MajorD
Take the money that they gave you
          A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4
Hide it in a mason jar
D MajorD
Nobody now can save you

A augmentedA      G+G      D MajorD
It don't matter where you are

Turn your lamp down low
A augmentedA
Hear the four wins blow

Bow your head to pray

Let the music play


Verse 2:

D MajorD
Left for dead in southern Georgia
            A augmentedA Asus4Asus4
At the hands of hapless John
D MajorD
With your baby waitin' for ya'
A augmentedA     G+G        D MajorD
You were home before the dawn
D MajorD
You know your shakin' hands with Satan
            A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4
When your mouth is goin’ dry
D MajorD
When that law man back in Dayton
A augmentedA     G+G       D MajorD
Wouldn't look you in the eye

Verse 3:

D MajorD
He was nothin' but a grifter
            A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4
And he came to play the part
D MajorD
Disguised as Luke the drifter
A augmentedA    G+G       D MajorD
Talk about a cheatin' heart
D MajorD
And he sold you down the river
            A augmentedA Asus4Asus4
when he rode into your town
D MajorD
Then that same old Indian giver
A augmentedA     G+G          D MajorD
Struck a match and burned it down


Verse 4:

D MajorD
Now you're alone and barely breathing
            A augmentedA Asus4Asus4
Looking down from up above
D MajorD
Needing something to believe in
A augmentedA      G+G      D MajorD
One lonely truth and love
D MajorD
And the storm is slowly dying
            A augmentedA Asus4Asus4
At the breaking of the day
D MajorD
All the steel guitars are crying
A augmentedA      G+G         D MajorD
I'm rollin' down that lost highway


Chorus:

G+G
It ain't like you planned
F minorFm   B minorBm
You got one last stand
E minorEm      G+G    D MajorD
