[Intro]
| D      | A      | D      | A      | B7     | E      | A      | A      |
 
 
[Verse 1]
      A               A                  A      A
There was a man whose deeds were dark as night
    A                  A             B7      B7
And quite by chance he rode into the light
  D              A          D                A
A man, wild as a dust devil with no place to run
B7            B7              E      E
Living by his wits and by his gun
 
 
[Verse 2]
   A               A              A      A
He met a girl like none he'd ever known
    A                 A                B7      B7
She cared not for the wild oats he had sewn
     D               A            D              A
And, so, he laid his gun down and set his spirit free
      B7           B7       E      E
Began living in respectability
 
 
[Verse 3]
        A           A                 A      A
But his old ways of thinking wouldn't die
      A              A                  B7      B7
Could not forget the old creed he lived by
        D                    A                    D                A
And the good and bad and the right and wrong kept fighting for his soul
         B7             E                   A      A
'Til his heart and mind both went out of control
 
 
[Instrumental]
| A      | A      | A      | A      |
| A      | A      | B7     | B7     |
| D      | A      | D      | A      |
| B7     | E      | A      | A      |
 
 
[Verse 4]
    A             A                  A      A
But now the old saloon had lost its spell
     A                 A              B7      B7
What once was laughter now was living hell
        D                 A               D                A
And the hookers, guns and drinking in his life were out of place
    B7             B7             E      E
And in his mind he saw an Angel's face
 
 
[Verse 5]
    A                 A            A      A
So, he burned all his bridges in a day
        A                A              B7      B7
And the Devil deeds were done and laid away
    D             A               D                  A
And he rode out a better man than when he first rode in
        B7            E             A      A
And the Angel got the Badman in the end
