Outlaws Prayer

C#m                            E
Federales on the border With a wanted poster sign
F#m                            C#m
Jesse’s picture on it and he’s running out of time
C#m                           E
Shot a boy in San Diego as he reached down for his gun
F#m                                  C#m
Thought he’d be a hero Well I’m real sorry about that son
C#m                                          E
But you ain’t the first to try and die since Jesse jumped his bail
F#m                                  G#
Had a thousand federales waitin’ and hell hounds on his trail

C#m                                           E
When he said Father please forgive me for the evil that I do
F#m                            G#
If you get me safe to Mexico I swear to you I'm through
C#m                                             E
And if redemption comes in a blaze of bullets I guess that'd be fair
F#m                            G#                          C#m
I ain't afraid of dying I just hope you hear this outlaw's prayer

C#m                                  E
Well he crossed the rio grande river where the water was runnin' low
F#m                         C#m
He heard a federale cry out Jesse's down below
C#m                           E
And he rode up the other side blind into the night
F#m                                      C#m
When a bullet knocked him from his horse and he crawled outta sight
C#m                                     E
And as he lay there tremblin' his blood spillin' down his shirt
F#m                              G#
He prayed to God Almighty layin' face down in the dirt

C#m                                           E
When he said Father please forgive me for the evil that I do
F#m                            G#
If you get me safe to Mexico I swear to you I'm through
C#m                                             E
And if redemption comes in a blaze of bullets I guess that'd be fair
F#m                            G#                          C#m
I ain't afraid of dying I just hope you hear this outlaw's prayer

C#m                                 E
Well he woke up in a mission Layin' on a padre's bed
F#m                                C#m
Said the federales are long gone I told 'em that you were dead
C#m                       E
I buried you this morning I put your guns in the ground
F#m                          C#m
I don't lie without a reason Jesse You best turn your life around
C#m                                    E
Why this cup passed from your lips son Heaven only knows
F#m                                G#
Jesse said the only answer God was listenin' I suppose

C#m                                           E
When he said Father please forgive me for the evil that I do
F#m                            G#
If you get me safe to Mexico I swear to you I'm through
C#m                                             E
And if redemption comes in a blaze of bullets I guess that'd be fair
F#m                            G#                          C#m
I ain't afraid of dying I just hope you hear this outlaw's prayer
