Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
        A augmentedA         A7A7
I spent all my money in a mexican whorehouse,
      D7D7           D MajorD
Across the street from a catholic church,
      A augmentedA
And then I wiped off my revolver,
   E7E7           A augmentedA
And I buttoned up my burgundy shirt,


Verse 2:
      A augmentedA
I shot the morning in the back,
    A7A7
With my red wings on,
      D7D7           D MajorD
I told the sun he'd better go back down,
       A augmentedA
And if I can find a book of matches,
  E7E7            A augmentedA
I'm goin' to burn this hotel down.

Chorus:
      A augmentedA       A7A7
You got to tell me brave captain,
      D7D7     D MajorD
Why are the wicked  so strong,
      A augmentedA
How do the angels get to sleep,
     E7E7             A augmentedA
When the devil leaves the porchlight on.


Verse 3:
    A augmentedA              A7A7
Well I dropped thirty grand on the nugget slots,
     D7D7           D MajorD
I had to sell my ass on fremont street,
    A augmentedA
And the drummer said there's sanctuary,
E7E7         A augmentedA
Over at the Baghdad room,


Verse 4:
       A augmentedA         A7A7
And now it's one for the money, two for the show,
D7D7           D MajorD
Three to get ready, and go man go,
    A augmentedA
I said tell me mr. siegel,
E7E7         A augmentedA
How do I get out of here.

Bridge:
   E7E7
Well willard's knocked out on a bottle of heat,
    A augmentedA
Drivin' dangerous curves across the dirty sheets,
    E7E7
He said man you ought to see her, when her parents are gone,
D7D7 N.C.              E7E7 N.C.
Man you ought to hear her when the siren's on.


Chorus:
      A augmentedA       A7A7
You got to tell me brave captain,
      D7D7     D MajorD
Why are the wicked  so strong,
      A augmentedA
How do the angels get to sleep,
     E7E7             A augmentedA
When the devil leaves the porchlight on
.

Verse 5:
               A augmentedA
Don't you know that ain't no  broken bottle,
    A7A7
that I picked up in my headlights,
    D7D7            D MajorD
On the other side of the nevada line
      A augmentedA
Where they live hard die young,
      E7E7            A augmentedA
And have a good lookin' corpse every time,


Verse 6:
     A augmentedA              A7A7
Well the pit-boss said I should keep movin',
    D7D7          D MajorD
This is where you go when you die,
     A augmentedA
And so I shot a black beauty,
   E7E7              A augmentedA
And I kissed her right between the eyes.


Bridge:
   E7E7
Well willard's knocked out on a bottle of heat,
    A augmentedA
Drivin' dangerous curves across the dirty sheets,
    E7E7
He said when the bitch is wound up and her parents are gone
D7D7 N.C.              E7E7 N.C.
Man you ought to hear her when the siren's on.


Chorus:
      A augmentedA       A7A7

How do the angels get to sleep,

When the devil leaves the porchlight on.
