E5
The cold wind blew the preacher grieved
C5
He said they're comin' after me
D5 E5
I ain't exactly what I seem to be
E5
He pulled his pistol from his side
C5
Pointed it at me and cried
D5 E5
And then he laid a bullet deep in my chest
E5
He stood still revealin' the story
C5
That I knew was true before
D5 E5
And now because of it I lay dying
E5
He claimed to run with Jesse James,
C5
William Bonnie, and they all the same
D5 E5
I ain't no preacher man I was born of fire
Pre chorus: A5 G* E5 F#*
Hey can't you hear that train coming now
A5 G* E5
Rollin' fast down the tracks to hell their bound
chorus: C5 D5 G5 F#* E5
Well I'm in over my head again
C5 D5 E5
I hear those pistols layin' down
C5 D5 G5 F#* E5
And I have takin' the lives of many men
C5 D5 E5
Now the angel's comin' down
C5 D5 E5
I said the Angel of Death is coming down
E5
Well up in the horizon
C5
Laid the red sun beatin' cold and dying
D5 E5
And taking with it all the lives the preacher stole
E5
Well you see the preacher is not real
C5
He clench his fists of rage and steal
D5 E5
And spit the fires of Satan at your soul
E5
He beat the path to Heaven's door
C5
The angels said they'd take no more
D5 E5
Now he walks the Earth forever lone
E5
And on the stone that marked his death
C5
When he did finally lay to rest
D5 E5
Were the lonely words
