[Intro]
D Dsus2D Dsus4D D
- - - - (played over chord below)
[Verse 1]
D
Put the horses in the stable
A Asus4
Load the mules on the train
D
Set your pistols on the table
A G D
Leave the dogs out in the rain
D
Take the money that they gave you
A Asus4
Hide it in a mason jar
D
Nobody now can save you
A G D
It don't matter where you are
[Chorus]
G
Turn your lamp down low
A
Hear the four winds blow
D A Bm A Asus4
Bow your head to pray
G
It ain't what you planned
F#m Bm
You got one last stand
Em G D
Let the music play
[Verse 2]
D
Left for dead in southern Georgia
A Asus4
At the hands of hapless John
D
With your baby waitin' for ya'
A G D
You were home before the dawn
D
You know your shakin' hands with Satan
A Asus4
When your mouth is goin’ dry
D
When that law man back in Dayton
A G D
Wouldn't look you in the eye
[Chorus]
G
Turn your lamp down low
A
Hear the four winds blow
D A Bm A Asus4
Bow your head to pray
G
It ain't what you planned
F#m Bm
You got one last stand
Em G D
Let the music play
[Verse 3]
D
He was nothin' but a grifter
A Asus4
And he came to play the part
D
Disguised as Luke the drifter
A G D
Talk about a cheatin' heart
D
And he sold you down the river
A Asus4
when he rode into your town
D
Then that same old Indian giver
A G D
Struck a match and burned it down
[Chorus]
G
Turn your lamp down low
A
Hear the four winds blow
D A Bm A Asus4
Bow your head to pray
G
It ain't what you planned
F#m Bm
You got one last stand
Em G D
Let the music play
[Interlude]
G F#m Bm Em G A
[Verse 4]
D
Now you're alone and barely breathing
A Asus4
Looking down from up above
D
Needing something to believe in
A G D
One lonely truth and love
D
And the storm is slowly dying
A Asus4
At the breaking of the day
D
All the steel guitars are crying
A G D
I'm rollin' down that lost highway
[Chorus]
G
Turn your lamp down low
A
Hear the four winds blow
D A Bm A Asus4
Bow your head to pray
G
It ain't what you planned
F#m Bm
You got one last stand
Em G D
Let the music play
G
It ain't like you planned
F#m Bm
You got one last stand
Em G D
Let the music play
[Outro]
