Standard (EADGBE)

  Last night i kissed my gentle wife

  And heard my babys cries

  And thru steel bars i set them free

  Goodbye thru Marys eyes

  The hangman's calling for his coin

  His rope of measured ties

  And all the love i threw away

  Lives on in Marys eyes

  Iv'e rode with thieves with souls ice cold

  And fired my piistol true

  For love of gold and flesh to hold

  I wandered too far from you

(verse instrumental)

  Iv'e rode with thieves with souls ice cold

  And fired my pistol true

  For love of gold and flesh to hold

  I wandered so far from you

  My footsteps echo as they fall

  The gallows weighed my size

  A thousand beats my heart has skipped

  Thru tears in Marys eyes

  The rope feels cold across my throat

  For sins Lord and my lies

  Pray hold my hand before i drop

  And dry my Marys eyes
