[Verse 1]
D
Josie Escalido
She lived south of the border
                                     A
In a church her granddaddy's daddy built
A little Catholic mission
            A7
Where she spent her days wishing
                                        D
That he would come along and she'd be saved

[Verse 2]
D
Jimmy was an outlaw
An outcast from the bad lands
                                  A    A7
He rode a horse as black as his heart
Stayed hopped up on mezcal
Chased whiskey with saloon gals
                                      D
But he never could get Josie off his mind

[Chorus]
                       G
He said meet me after midnight
                         D
I'll be riding hot and fast
                           A
And our love is like a slow dance
                            D
I'm just trying to make it last
                        G
And I'm laying down my six guns
                      D
And surrendering my heart
                      A
It'll be rosary and sangria
                   G
Tequila and the cross
                      D
Outlaws, angels and the lost

[Verse 3]
D
Jimmy married Josie
In that little mountain chapel
                                    A
He made a vow to Josie and the God
He'd turn from his wicked ways
And leave behind his outlaw days
                                      D
And pray for forgiveness from his sins

[Verse 4]
D
But the past is like a storm
That crashes in from the north
                                       A
Rode south with the posse set on death
 A7
Blood all over Jimmy's hands and
  A
Josie lying in the desert sand
                                          D
With a bullet that tore Jimmy's heart in two

[Chorus]
                               G
And he screamed meet me after midnight
                        D
I'll be riding hot and fast
                        A
And our love is like a slow dance
                            D
I'm just trying to make it last
                        G
And I'm laying down my six guns
                      D
And surrendering my heart
                     A
It'll be rosary and sangria
                  G
Tequila and the cross
                    D
Outlaws, angels and the lost

[Verse 5]
D
When you're searching for the devil
Turns out he's not hard to find
                                    A
He rides a horse as black as his heart
Hell and fire with two six gun
A black horse on a dead end run
                                           D
When he rode into the rangers camp at dawn

[Bridge]
D
Jimmy buried Josie
In the ashes of that chapel
                               A
Left the rangers lying in the sun
Rode out toward the bad lands
And maybe God will understand
                                      D
That sometimes even angels will get lost

[Chorus]
                          G
He cried meet me after midnight
                        D
I'll be riding hot and fast
                         A
And our love is like a slow dance
                            D
I'm just trying to make it last
                        G
And I'm laying down my six guns
                   D
And surrendering my heart
                    A
It'll be rosary and sangria
                  G
Tequila and the cross
*no strum*
Outlaws, angels and the lost
