C C Bb Am
C C Bb7 Am7
[Verse]
CI got turned around in some little town
Bb AmI'd never been to before
CWorking my way through a middle-of-June
Bb Am7Midnight thunderstorm
CThere was something in the headlights
Bb AmIt stopped me on a dime
CWell, she was scared to death, so I said
Bb AmClimb in and then she climbed
C Bb AmOhh, ohh ohh yeah
[Verse]
CWell, she was bruised and broke from head to toe
Bb AmWith a tear in her blood-stained shirt
CShe didn't tell the whole truth but she didn't have to
Bb Am7I knew what had happened to her
CI didn't load her down with questions
Bb AmThat girl had been through enough
CI just threw it in drive, looked in those eyes
Bb Am7And I asked her where he was
[Chorus]
CI don't know if he's an angel
Bb F'Cause angels don't Do what he did
CHe was hellbent to find the man behind
Bb FAll the whiskey scars I hid
CI never thought my day of justice
Bb FWould come from a judge under a seat
C BbBut I knew right then I'd never get hit again
FWhen he said to me
CWait in the truck
Bb FJust wait in the truck
[Verse]
CWell I knocked and knocked and no one came
Bb AmSo I kicked in his double-wide door
CI let the hammer drop before he got
Bb Am7To that twelve he was reaching for
CI didn't try to hide my pistol
Bb Am7I didn't even try to run
CI just sat on the porch, smoking one of his cigarettes
Bb Am7And waited for the cops to come
[Chorus]
CI don't know if he's an angel
Bb F'Cause angels don't Do what he did
CHe was hellbent to find the man behind
Bb FAll the whiskey scars I hid
CI never thought my day of justice
Bb FWould come from a judge under a seat
C BbBut I knew right then I'd never get hit again
FWhen he said to me
CWait in the truck
Bb FJust wait in the truck
[Post-Chorus]
CWhoa oah (whoa)
Bb FHave mercy on me, Lord
CHave mercy on me
Bb FHave mercy on me-e (hey), Lord
[Bridge]
CIt's been sixty months and she still comes
Bb FTo see me from time to time
CIt was worth the price, to see a brighter side
Bb AmOf the girl I picked up that night
CAnd I might be here forever
Bb CIt ain't paradise that's true
CBut it's a whole hell of a lot better
Bb FThan the place I sent him to, yeah
[Outro]
