Capo 1st fret
 
 
[Intro]
Am F Em Am
 
 
[Verse 1]
AmWell, I'm a wanted man running hard
FA convict to the state of heart
Em AmIf I'm found I'll hang by the neck
AmWith a gun in hand and an early start
FSaddled up with a little tar
Em AmCause when I ride I ain't looking back
 
 
[Chorus]
AmCowboy gunning like an outlaw
FMadman running from the Lord's call
Em AmGood old shepherd's calling home his sheep
AmBad boy hit the end of his rope
FSad man slipping on a death slope
Em Am"Lord", he's praying, "my sin wasn't cheap
 
 
[Verse 2]
AmWell, I'm looking back, too far
FMy saddle's covered in this tar
Em AmAnd midday heat is scorching my dry throat
AmOh, I played the man but don't look the part
FThat old horse threw me seven yards
Em AmAnd landed with a mouthful of hot dirt
 
 
[Chorus]
AmWell's a cowboy gunning like an outlaw
FMadman running from the Lord's call
Em AmGood old shepherd's calling home his sheep
AmBad boy hit the end of his rope
FSad man slipping on a death slope
Em Am"Lord", he's praying, "my sin wasn't cheap
 
 
[Interlude]
F G Em Am
F E Am
 
 
[Verse 3]
AmWell, I'm dragging myself in the dark
FThe moonbeam's bright beside the stars
G AmAs a cry out to God that I don't know
AmWell I'm afraid Lord I need heaven's part
FHe said, "Son I'll save you right where you are"
G EmNow wicked man got freedom to his soul
 
 
[Out-Chorus]
AmCowboy gunning like an outlaw
FMadman running from the Lord's call
G AmGood old shepherd's calling home his sheep
AmBad boy hit the end of his rope
FSad man slipping on a death slope
G Am"Lord", he's praying, "my sin wasn't cheap
G Am N.C."Lord", he's praying, "my sin wasn't cheap
