For Love
Robert Earl Keen
Intro: D Am G D
[D]Strapped my guns and [Am]courage on s[C]et my cattle fr[D]ee
[D]Rolled a smoke and I m[F]ade a vow no [G]more to be rev[D]iled
[D]Combed her hair and [Am]laid her out [C]pretty as you pl[D]ease
[Em]Watched the fire light [C]up the night, [G]crying like a ch[D]ild
[D]Saw a man in S[Am]an Antone [C]shoot down a danci[D]n' queen
[D]And asked him on his h[F]angin day, what [G]was he thinkin[D] of
[D]He said I never [Am]liked the way she [C]treated me so me[D]an
[Em]In the end I'll [C]tell you friend, I [G]did it all for[D] love
CHORUS:
[G]Stood out on the[D] ragged edge and t[A]here I took the[Bm] fa[A]ll[G]
[D]I did it all for [Am]love my friend, [G]for love I did it [D]all
[D]Just this side of D[Am]evil's Dream a[C]bove the sulphur m[D]ine
[D]I found the man who ro[F]bbed me of the g[G]irl I loved and [D]lost
[D]I asked him befor[Am]e he died what[C] made him cross the [D]line
[Em]He asked me did I m[C]ean the line t[G]hat I just stepped acr[D]oss
CHORUS
[Bm]I...[A].. [G] [D] [E]Wonder[E7] why?[A] [G]
[D]I've walked this earth these [Am]many years and[C] left a trail [D]of fire
[D]But once I was a g[F]entle man [G]every bit like y[D]ou
[D]Watched the heavens open[Am]ed up, h[C]eard the angel c[D]hoir
[Em]Sing the holy s[C]ong of God, to [G]thine own self be tr[D]ue
