G F I’d be riding horses if they'd let meAm G Sleep outside at night and not take frightG F I would ride the range and never 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]G F They’ll be drawing straws inside the courtroomAm G As the sudden twilight turns to blackG F Torches burn into the sad eyesAm G On the wrong side of the track [Verse 3]G F Make those horses jump through hoops of flameAm G They won’t kick and they won't 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 F By day and night the world keeps turningAm G Frightened people hiding in their 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
