Verse 1:

D
Put the horses in the stable
            A Asus4
Load the mules on the train
D

Set your pistols on the table
A      G      D
Leave the dogs out in the rain
D
Take the money that they gave you
          A  Asus4
Hide it in a mason jar
D
Nobody now can save you

A      G      D
It don't matter where you are


Chorus:

G
Turn your lamp down low
A
Hear the four wins blow
D     A    Bm  A Asus4
Bow your head to pray
G
It ain't what you planned
Fm   Bm
You got one last stand
Em    G   D
Let the music play


Verse 2:

D
Left for dead in southern Georgia
            A Asus4
At the hands of hapless John
D
With your baby waitin' for ya'
A     G        D
You were home before the dawn
D
You know your shakin' hands with Satan
            A  Asus4
When your mouth is goin’ dry
D
When that law man back in Dayton
A     G       D
Wouldn't look you in the eye


Verse 3:

D
He was nothin' but a grifter
            A  Asus4
And he came to play the part
D
Disguised as Luke the drifter
A    G       D
Talk about a cheatin' heart
D
And he sold you down the river
            A Asus4
when he rode into your town
D
Then that same old Indian giver
A     G          D
Struck a match and burned it down


Verse 4:

D
Now you're alone and barely breathing
            A Asus4
Looking down from up above
D
Needing something to believe in
A      G      D
One lonely truth and love
D
And the storm is slowly dying
            A Asus4
At the breaking of the day
D
All the steel guitars are crying
A      G         D
I'm rollin' down that lost highway


Chorus:

G
It ain't like you planned
Fm   Bm
You got one last stand
Em      G    D
