The Messenger 
By Ray Wylie Hubbard
3/18/04


This is the live version but as long as the key is the same, 
you should be able to figure it out. If not, let me know how 
much different the live version is from the studio.


     G                 D
I am wearing old boots with high cuban heels
    Cadd9                      G             D
Our souls they are worn and we stand here by grace
   G                D    
My trousers are torn and my jacket is borrowed
     Cadd9              G                  D     
I am wearing my time behind the eyes in my face



Chorus 1:
C                    G 
I am not looking for loose diamonds
   C                 G                    D
Or pretty girls with crosses around their necks
G                D                        C 
I don't want for roses or water, I am not looking for God
         D           G
I am not looking for sex


I've worn out my welcome in certain small circles
In Spanish bordellos and confederate states
But there is an angel in leathers and kindness
Who whispers my name beyond heaven's gate

Chorus


Bridge:
Em                         D 
All the true believers are out on the road tonite
   C                        G                 D   
No matter what happens, you know they'll be okay
           Em                            D
And to the rock and roll gypsies may the last song you sing
   C                                         D
Be by Townes Van Zandt and down in old Santa Fe


Now I have a mission and a small code of honor
To stand and deliver by whatever measures
And the message I cgive is from this old poet Rilke
He said "Our fears are like dragons guarding our most precious treasures”

Chorus
