Intro 1
(E major)
(A minor) Wendell Walker was a (G major) friend of mine
Verse 1
(C major)
We'd (A minor) stain our teeth (G major) in the
summertime (C major)
And with (A minor) lips of purple,
the (G major) winter would roll
Past (C major) the boarded windows in (E minor) to our souls
(E major) And (A minor) shake our weary (A major) bones (D major)
Now (A minor) this past winter was the cold
(G major) est in years (C major)
(A minor) It's hard to explain if
(G major) you've never lived (C major) here
But it (A minor) locks your doors and
(G major) starts your mind
(C major) Thinking in circles just to (E minor) pass the time
(E major) And (A minor) breaks your weary (A major) heart (D major)
Now (A minor) Wendell Walker was a (G major) man of God (C major)
But he (A minor) didn't care much
for his (G major) sober mind
(C major) An d when the (A minor) cold mixed in
he was (G major) turned around
Heard the (C major) voice of God and the (E minor) angels sound
(E major) A message (A minor) just for him
(D major) (B minor)

Verse 2
(C major)
My son, (E minor) my son,
(A minor) (D major) she (B minor) is the devil's (C major) child
Won't (B minor) you save her while you (D major) can
(C major) Cut down (B minor) the other man
(C major) (D major)
Verse 3
Now (A minor) Wendell Walker was
(G major) a friend of mine (C major)
But he (A minor) married too young
in the (G major) summertime
(C major) Their (A minor) hearts weren't
ripe so they fell (G major) apart
And I (C major) found myself with a (E minor) joyful heart
As our (A minor) secret lives began (D major)
We (A minor) found our moments
in between (G major) the hours (C major) (D major) (C major)
When (A minor) Wendell Walker drove
(G major) his car to town (C major)
But one (A minor) day he found a letter
that I (G major) wrote for her
On the (C major) top of her dresser and
in (E minor) his winter mind
(A minor) He heard the voice of God (D major) say (C major)
Verse 4
My son, (C major) (E minor) my son,
(A minor) (D major) she (B minor) is the devil's child (C major)
Won't (B minor) you save her while (D major) you can
(C major) Cut (B minor) down the other man
(C major) (D major)
Verse 5
With the (A minor) voice of the Lord
ringing (G major) in his ears
And (C major) the (A minor) note to his wife that
(G major) confirmed his (C major) fears
(A minor) He sat down on the (G major) edge of the bed
Read the (C major) letter again to see (E minor)
who'd sent it
But it was signed (A minor) 'forever
(D major) (E minor) (A minor) yours'
He stood up slow like he'd
(G major) just been hit (C major)
Walked in (A minor) to the kitchen (D major) (A minor)
(G major) where his wife was (C major) sitting
He said, my mother (A minor) called
(D major) on the (G major) telephone
She says (C major) she needs some help so
I'll be (E minor) back in the morning
And he (A minor) grabbed his heavy coat (D major)
(A minor) My phone (D major) rang while
I was watching (G major) the news (C major)
She said the (A minor) house was ours
(D major) to cure (G major) these winter blues (C major)
So I made (A minor) my way,
and (G major) we turned the blinds
And (C major) Wendell walked in just (E minor) in time
To see (A minor) our secret (D major) die and say (E minor) (C major)
Verse 6
My son, (E minor) my son (B minor) (A minor) (D major) I'm
gonna (B minor) have to cut you down
(C major) He pointed (B minor) his rifle to my (D major) eye (C major) s
But his (B minor) hesitating hands (C major)
Were shak (B minor) ing from the cold (C major)
So I (B minor) pushed his gun away (D major) (C major)
Just as (B minor) he found his strength (C major)
And (B minor) the bullet kissed (D major) her lips (C major)
And I cried
My god, (E minor) my god (A minor) (D major)
what (B minor) have I (C major) done?
And (B minor) he reloaded his gun (C major)
And (B minor) he put it in his mouth (C major)
And (B minor) I stood in the (C major) room that I'd
(C major) created
