• Capo on 2nd

Tuning: EADGBE

Intro:
D MajorD G+G

Verse 1:
      D MajorD                G+G
He laid 'em both out on the bed so he could take a look
     D MajorD               G+G
At those six blued steel chambers & Mr. Gideon's Book
  D MajorD                  G+G
The more he drank, the more his head got filled with doubt
    D MajorD           G+G
One's a harder road, One's the Easy Out

Pre-Chorus:
  B minorBm                G+G
The Devil on his shoulder said, "Just go ahead"
    B minorBm              A augmentedA
But the Angel in the room said, "You ain't through here yet"

Chorus:
    D MajorD                          E minorEm
And the tickin' of the clock pounds like a drum when you're flirtin' with the trigger to Kingdom Come
    G+G                         A augmentedA
And you wouldn't want your mama to see you this way or the preacher that put you under water that day
D MajorD                  E minorEm
One hand holds the key to life, the other holds the darkest light
     G+G                   A augmentedA
And the fool between 'em thinks he has to pick one, the bible or the gun

Solo:
D MajorD E minorEm G+G A augmentedA

Verse 2:
    D MajorD                G+G
He was drifting through the pages of his past regrets
    D MajorD                A augmentedA
'Til he stumbled on the part about "The Valley of the Shadow of Death"
    D MajorD              G+G
And he felt as old as time, but he felt brand new
    D MajorD                 A augmentedA
When he drowned that Smith & Wesson at the bottom of the Motel pool

Chorus:
    D MajorD                          E minorEm
And the tickin' of the clock pounds like a drum when you're flirtin' with the trigger to Kingdom Come
    G+G                         A augmentedA
And you wouldn't want your mama to see you this way or the preacher that put you under water that day
D MajorD                 E minorEm
One hand holds the key to life, the other holds the darkest light
    G+G                   A augmentedA
And the fool between 'em thinks he has to pick one, the bible or the gun

Bridge:
     B minorBm       F# minorF#m
Walkin' On Water, Back In Galilee
     G+G                 A augmentedA
Don't mean near as much to him as the Miracle in Room 23, yeah

Solo:
B minorBm F# minorF#m G+G A augmentedA

Chorus:
   D MajorD                     E minorEm
Yeah, he walked through the darkest night and he washed his sins in the morning light
   G+G                  A augmentedA
He's thankful for each & every breath that comes
  G+G                 A augmentedA              D MajorD
He looks back on the battle that God won between the bible and the gun
