For Love
Robert Earl Keen
Intro: D Am G D
D Am C D
Strapped my guns and courage on set my cattle free
D F G D
Rolled a smoke and I made a vow no more to be reviled
D Am C D
Combed her hair and laid her out pretty as you please
Em C G D
Watched the fire light up the night, crying like a child
D Am C D
Saw a man in San Antone shoot down a dancin' queen
D F G D
And asked him on his hangin day, what was he thinkin of
D Am C D
He said I never liked the way she treated me so mean
Em C G D
In the end I'll tell you friend, I did it all for love
CHORUS:
G D A Bm A G
Stood out on the ragged edge and there I took the fall
D Am G D
I did it all for love my friend, for love I did it all
D Am C D
Just this side of Devil's Dream above the sulphur mine
D F G D
I found the man who robbed me of the girl I loved and lost
D Am C D
I asked him before he died what made him cross the line
Em C G D
He asked me did I mean the line that I just stepped across
CHORUS
Bm A G D E E7 A G
I..... Wonder why?
D Am C D
I've walked this earth these many years and left a trail of fire
D F G D
But once I was a gentle man every bit like you
D Am C D
Watched the heavens opened up, heard the angel choir
Em C G D
Sing the holy song of God, to thine own self be true
CHORUS
