E                                A        E
Born and raised in Oklahoma the young man moved to Tennessee
           B                                   A              E
He started runnin' with the devil chasin' that honky tonker's dream
         E                      A              E
Well at some dive out on life's highway headed southbound
        B                                    A                 E
She was sent from up above and her true love turned his world around

[Chorus]
          A                   E
God bless angels and pray for outlaws
          B                             E    E7
To find a new found love for their lost cause
               A         E               A
Lord knows she loved him despite all his flaws
             E                            B
And he loved her cause she made him wanna be
         E
A better man

[Verse 2]
        E                         A                E
No there weren't no halo above her beautiful brown hair
      B                        A                        E
No he never saw her wings he always knew that they were there
         E                               A              E
Lord she had this way of knowin' when he needed her the most
              B                                           A               E
It's like she had some kind of connection with the father son and the holy ghost

[Chorus]
          A                   E
God bless angels and pray for outlaws
              B                    E         E7
To find a new found love for their lost cause
               A         E              A
Lord knows she loved him despite all his flaws
             E                            B
And he loved her cause she made him wanna be
         E
A better man

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
              A              E
Lord knows it wasn't cold as hell
          B                     E
Like everybody thought it would be
            A                        E
Lord it was actually a beautiful July morning
         B                         A
When he and that preacher man came walking
               E
Up out of that tree

[Chorus]
          A                   E
God bless angels and pray for outlaws
          B                        E          E7
To find a new found love for their lost cause
               A         E               A
Lord knows she loved him despite all his flaws
             E                            B
And he loved her cause she made him wanna be
         E
