Intro 1

Verse 1
Am 
I was just a boy
C 
when they tied me to that tree
G 
They hung  my daddy's brother,
Am 
left him swinging over me
I went off to get my vengeance
C 
underneath the flag of red
G 
And that angel on my shoulder,
Am 
she had spoke to me since then
E 
Am 
C 
G 
Am 
Hey, hey, hey
C 
G 
Am 
I tried my hand at working,
C 
but working was not me
G 
So I left my wife and children
Am 
in a state of misery
I went off to make my living
C 
for my daughter and my son
G 
And I found an occupation
Dm 
at the wrong end of the gun
Am 
Oh, lying here looking up
C 
at the cracks in the roof
G 
Well, I thought you were my friend,
E 
but I guess I was a fool
F 
There's no pain, only blood
G 
Am 
and the smoke from your gun
Dm 
Em 
Am 
And I ain't on the run anymore
C 
F

Am

F 
G 
Am 
Well I joined a band of brothers
C 
And those brothers took my name
G 
We were feared across the country
Am 
as the gang of Jesse James
Some folks call me a hero,
C 
but those folks don't
know me well
G 
There's no place for
me in heaven,
Dm 
there's no peace for me in hell
D 
Dm 
Am 
Oh, lying here looking up
C 
at the cracks in the roof
G 
Well, I  thought you were my friend,
E 
but I guess I was a fool
F 
There's no pain, only blood
G 
Am 
and the smoke from your gun
Dm 
Em 
And I ain't on the run anymore
Am 
Dm 
Em 
No, I ain't on the run
E

Oh, anymore

Am 
C 
G 
Am 
I thought you were my brother,
C 
but now it's come to this
G 
You'll be off to get your silver,
Am 
just like Judas with no kiss
And that angel on my shoulder,
Em 
C 
looked me deeply in the eye
G 
As she turned to face the doorway,
Dm 
I could hear that angel cry
Am 
Lying here looking up
C 
at the cracks in the roof
G 
Well, I thought you were my friend
E 
But I guess I was a fool
F 
with my cold phone
G 
Am 
Oh, lying cold on the floor
Dm 
Em 
And I ain't on the run anymore
Am 
Dm 
Em 
No, I ain't on the run
E 
Em 
Am 
Anymore, anymore
