Notes: There are chords mixed in with the riffs that I didn't
bother to write out. It's pretty easy to figure out where they
go. Each riff is only written once, but used at least a few times
-- it should be obvious where.

There's one chord that I don't know the name of for sure. I wrote
it as C97M (my best guess), and it looks like this (low to high):

x20010

Traded love away   for a streak of mean

G5                                      D5

    C5      D5        G5
The glory road some day




G5                      D5
  Two men painted on a midnight sky

A5                    C5              D5
   One slung low, the other riding high

  G5                 D5               C5                    D5

             And now I lay me down to rest

A5                    C5               D5
God bless the boy, my bullet in his chest

G5                        D5
  But you can't bless me  'cause I lost my soul

C5            D5      G5
  Out on the glory road

(Repeat chorus)
