[Eb] [Gm]
[F] I'd be riding horses if [Eb] they'd let me Sleep [Gm] outside at night and I'd [F] take flight
I would ride the rain and [Eb] never worry I [Gm] would disappear into [C] the night
[F] [Eb] But [Gm] everybody [F] needs an angel And [Eb] [Gm] here's that devil by [F] my side
[Eb] A death [Gm]-sad ring upon [F] his finger A [Eb] poor [Gm] boy hanging [F] on the light
[Eb] [Gm]
[F] They'll be drawing straws inside [Eb] the courtroom As [Gm] the sudden twilight [F] turns to black
The torches burn into [Eb] the sad eyes [Gm] On the wrong side [F] of the track
[Eb] Make [Gm] those horses jump [F] through hoops of flame [Eb] They [Gm] won't kick and they [F] won't scream
[Eb] Let [G] the good Lord do [F] the driving [Eb] While the poor boy [Gm]
sinks to [F] the street
[Eb] [Gm]
[F] I can smell the [Eb] campfires burning [Gm] But I'll go out walking on [F] my own
By day and night the world [Eb] keeps turning [Gm] Frightened people hiding in [F] their homes
[Eb] And [Gm] everybody [F] needs an angel [Eb] But here's [Gm] that devil by [F] my side
[Eb] A death [Gm]-sad ring upon [F] his finger [Eb] A poor [G] boy hanging on [F] the light
[Eb] And [G] everybody [F] needs an angel [Eb] But here's [Gm] that devil by [F] my side
