Crooked Man Chords by Susan Ashton

_ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dbm] _ [Ab] _ [Bb] _ [Abm] _ [Db] _ [Ab] _ [Bb] _ [B] _
[Db] _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
[Ab] _ _ _ [B] _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ [Abm] _
[Ebm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _
[Ab] So come, [B] [Ab] touch his [Bb] heart and [Db] there's a chance you could [Ab] _ [Abm] freeze
[Db] _ Still _ so, _ [Ab] keep your [Abm] distance or be [Ab] ready to bleed
[Abm] _ [Db] _ He was good at the _ [Ab] beat, was really good at pushing through
[Db] _ He _ _ believed in whatever it took, [Bb] and whatever it took
It [Eb] was never _ [Ab] _ _ looking [Db] at anyone, looking my _ _ way
Behind the crooked [Ab] smile, like an [Db] arrow
Launches where he can, but it never pierces the [E] heart
[Ab] Of a crooked [Ebm] man, _ [Abm] _
no _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Abm] _
Testify, _ when justice wouldn't pay the _ toll
[Db] _ _ _
Strings, _ _ [Abm] when the truth was better [Ab] had it been bold
_ _ [Db] _ Driven by an insatiable lust [Ab] for [Bb] power [Abm] that was just out of [Ab] reach
_ _ _ [Db] Living on in a trance, [Bb] with a steady dose [Eb] of control and greed
[Ab] Well, there was a crooked [Db] man, off the crooked mile
Lived a crooked life, behind a crooked smile
[Ab] Little, just like an arrow, [Db] launches where he can, but it
Never pierces [Dbm] the heart of a crooked [Ab] man _ _
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Dbm] _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ Oh, my, _ _ nobody [Bb] [B] came to [Ab] say goodbye
[Abm] _ [Db] _ Slow, _ a ride [B] for [Ab] the author of his own demise
_ [Db] _ _ No one had much [Ab] good to say, so I'm glad he was finally _ gone
_ [Db] His legacy was cold and gray, [Bb] like the mocking words [Eb] that were carved in stone
[F] _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ A crooked [Db] man, as he walked the crooked mile
_ _ Left behind a crooked smile, [Ab] _ like an arrow
[Db] Launches where he can, but it
Never pierces the heart _ _ _
[Gb] _ [Db] _ of [Dbm] a [Abm] crooked man _ _ [Eb] No _ _
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ [F] _ [Abm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

There was a crooked man, off the crooked mile
