Intro 1

Verse 1
G 
There was a man whose
deeds were dark as night
And quite by chance he
A 
rode into the light
C 
G 
A man, wild as a dust devil
C 
G 
with, no place to run
A 
D 
Livin' by his wits and by his gun

Verse 2

He met a girl like none he'd ever known

She cared not for the wild

oats he had sewn

And, so, he laid his gun down

and set his spirit free

Began livin' in respectability

Verse 3
G 
But his old ways of thinkin'
wouldn't die
A 
Could not forget the old creed he lived by
C 
G 
And the good and bad and the right
C 
G 
and wrong kept fightin' for his soul
A 
Till his heart and mind both
D 
went out of control
G

Verse 4
G 
But now
the old saloon had lost its spell
What once was laughter
A 
now was livin' hell
C 
And the hookers,
G 
C 
G 
guns and drinkin' in his life were out of place
A 
And in his mind he saw
D 
C 
Bm 
an Angel's face
D 
So,

Verse 5
G 
he burned all his bridges in a day
And the Devil deeds were
A 
done and laid away
C 
G 
And he rode out a better man
C 
G 
than when he first rode in
A 
D 
G 
And the Angel got the Badman in the end
