Outlaws Prayer

C#m                          
Federales on the border With a 
  E
wanted poster sign
F#m                            
Jesse’s picture on it and he’s 
C#m
running out of time
C#m                         
Shot a boy in San Diego as he 
  E
reached down for his gun
F#m                               
Thought he’d be a hero Well I’m 
   C#m
real sorry about that son
C#m                               
But you ain’t the first to try and
           E
 die since Jesse jumped his bail
F#m                               
Had a thousand federales waitin’ 
   G#
and hell hounds on his trail

[Chorus]
C#m                               
When he said Father please forgive
            E
 me for the evil that I do
F#m                            G#
If you get me safe to Mexico I swear
 to you I'm through
C#m                               
And if redemption comes in a blaze
              E
 of bullets I guess that'd be fair
F#m                            G#
I ain't afraid of dying I just 
                          C#m
hope you hear this outlaw's prayer

[Verse 2]

C#m                               
Well he crossed the rio grande 
   E
river where the water was runnin' 
low
F#m                         C#m
He heard a federale cry out Jesse's 
down below
C#m                           E
And he rode up the other side blind 
into the night
F#m                               
When a bullet knocked him from his
       C#m
 horse and he crawled outta sight
C#m                               
And as he lay there tremblin' his 
      E
blood spillin' down his shirt
F#m                              
He prayed to God Almighty layin' 
G#
face down in the dirt

[Chorus]
C#m                               
When he said Father please forgive
            E
 me for the evil that I do
F#m                            G#
If you get me safe to Mexico I swear
 to you I'm through
C#m                               
And if redemption comes in a blaze
              E
 of bullets I guess that'd be fair
F#m                            G#
I ain't afraid of dying I just 
                          C#m
hope you hear this outlaw's prayer

[Verse 3]
C#m                               
Well he woke up in a mission 
  E
Layin' on a padre's bed
F#m                                
Said the federales are long gone I 
C#m
told 'em that you were dead
C#m                       E
I buried you this morning I put your
 guns in the ground
F#m                          C#m
I don't lie without a reason Jesse 
You best turn your life around
C#m                               
Why this cup passed from your lips
     E
 son Heaven only knows
F#m                                
Jesse said the only answer God was 
G#
listenin' I suppose

[Chorus]
C#m                               
When he said Father please forgive
            E
 me for the evil that I do
F#m                            G#
If you get me safe to Mexico I swear
 to you I'm through
C#m                               
And if redemption comes in a blaze
              E
 of bullets I guess that'd be fair
F#m                            G#
I ain't afraid of dying I just 
                          C#m
hope you hear this outlaw's prayer
