_ _ [G] _ [A] _ _ _ [C] I was but a young man, [Am] wild and full of fire, [C] A youth within my teens and [Am] full of challenge and desire,
[C]
Ran away from [G] home and left [Am] my mother and my [C] dad, Grieved them [G] so to think [Am] their only boy was dead. _
I fell in with an [B] outlaw [Am] band, the names are known quite [C] well, How many times we'd robbed and [Am] plundered I could never tell,
[C] This [G] kind of [C] sinful living [Am] will lead only to fall, Learned that [G] much and more [Am] the night I heard my master call.
_ [F] One [Am] night we [C] rustled cattle, [Dm] a thousand [C] head or so, [F] Started [C] them out on the [Am] trail that leads to Mexico,

lightning [F] flashed [Gm] about, [C] I thought [F] someone was calling [G] me, I [A] thought I [C] heard a shout,
But _ that moment [G] lightning [Em] struck not twenty yards from me, [F] And left there was a [A] giant [C] cross where once there was a [G] tree,

[C] A miracle performed that [Am] night, I wasn't meant to die, [C] The dead ones formed a [Am] barricade, at least six or seven high,
