The Messenger

(live version)

     G                 D
I am wearing old boots with high 
cuban heels
    Cadd9                      G  
Our souls they are worn and we 
           D
stand here by grace
   G                D
My trousers are torn and my jacket 
is borrowed
     Cadd9              G         
I am wearing my time behind the 
         D
eyes in my face

Chorus -------------
C                    G
I am not looking for loose diamonds
   C                 G            
Or pretty girls with crosses 
        D
around their necks
Continúa después del anuncio
G                D               
I don't want for roses or water, 
         C
I am not looking for God
         D           G
I am not looking for sex
-------------------- 

I've worn out my welcome in certain 
small circles
In Spanish bordellos and confederate
 states
But there is an angel in leathers 
and kindness
Who whispers my name beyond heaven's
 gate

Chorus

Bridge:
Em                         D
All the true believers are out on 
the road tonite
   C                        G  
No matter what happens, you know 
               D
they'll be okay
           Em                      
And to the rock and roll gypsies 
      D
may the last song you sing
   C                               
Be by Townes Van Zandt and down in 
          D
old Santa Fe

Now I have a mission and a small 
code of honor
To stand and deliver by whatever 
measures
And the message I cgive is from this
 old poet Rilke
He said "Our fears are like dragons 
guarding our most precious 
treasures?

Chorus
