G F I’d be riding horses if they'd let meAm Sleep outside at night and notG take frightG I would ride the range and neverF worryAm G I would disappear into the night [Chorus]F Am G Everybody needs an angelF Am G But here’s that devil by my sideF Am G Death’s head ring upon his fingerF Am G Poor boy hanging on the light [Verse 2]Continues after the adG They’ll be drawing straws insideF the courtroomAm As the sudden twilight turns toG blackG F Torches burn into the sad eyesAm G On the wrong side of the track [Verse 3]G Make those horses jump throughF hoops of flameAm They won’t kick and they won'tG screamG F Let the good lord do the drivingAm G Poor boy sinking in the stream [Verse 4]G F I can smell the campfires burningAm G But I’ll go out walking on my ownG By day and night the world keepsF turningAm Frightened people hiding in theirG homes [Chorus]F Am G Everybody needs an angelF Am G But here’s that devil by my sideF Am G Death’s head ring upon his fingerF Am G Poor boy hanging on the light
