For Love

D  Am  G  D

D                    Am          
Strapped my guns and courage on 
C              D
set my cattle free
D                     F           
Rolled a smoke and I made a vow no
 G             D
 more to be reviled
D                   Am           
Combed her hair and laid her out 
C               D
pretty as you please
Em                     C         
Watched the fire light up the 
    G               D
night, crying like a child

D             Am        C       
Saw a man in San Antone shoot 
          D
down a dancin' queen
D                     F          
And asked him on his hangin day, 
      G             D
 what was he thinkin of
D               Am                
He said I never liked the way she 
C               D
treated me so mean

In the end I'll tell you friend, 
   G             D
 I did it all for love

[Chorus]
G               D             
Stood out on the ragged edge and 
    A              Bm A G
there I took the fall
D                Am              
I did it all for love my friend, 
G                 D
for love I did it all

D                  Am        
Just this side of Devil's Dream 
    C                 D
above the sulphur mine
D                     F          
I found the man who robbed me of 
     G               D
the girl I loved and lost
D                Am            C
I asked him before he died what 
                   D
made him cross the line
Em                 C             
He asked me did I mean the line 
G                      D
that I just  stepped across

[Chorus]
Bm  A  G  D              E     
I.....                   Wonder
E7      A    G
 why?

D                            Am  
I've walked this earth these many
          C             D
 years and left a trail of fire
D                 F         G   
But once I was a gentle man 
            D
every bit like you
D                       Am      
Watched the heavens opened up, 
C               D
heard the angel choir
Em             C              G 
Sing the holy song of God, to 
                  D
thine own self be true
