[Intro]

[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]

[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
