Robert Earl Keen - For Love guitar chord

For Love

Robert Earl Keen

Intro: D Am G D

D Am C D

Strapped my guns and courage on set my cattle free

D F G D

Rolled a smoke and I made a vow no more to be reviled

D Am C D

Combed her hair and laid her out pretty as you please

Em C G D

Watched the fire light up the night, crying like a child

D Am C D

Saw a man in San Antone shoot down a dancin' queen

D F G D

And asked him on his hangin day, what was he thinkin of

D Am C D

He said I never liked the way she treated me so mean

Em C G D

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

CHORUS:

G D A Bm A G

Stood out on the ragged edge and there I took the fall

D Am G D

I did it all for love my friend, for love I did it all

D Am C D

Just this side of Devil's Dream above the sulphur mine

D F G D

I found the man who robbed me of the girl I loved and lost

D Am C D

I asked him before he died what made him cross the line

Em C G D

He asked me did I mean the line that I just stepped across

CHORUS

Bm A G D E E7 A G

I..... Wonder why?

D Am C D

I've walked this earth these many years and left a trail of fire

D F G D

But once I was a gentle man every bit like you

D Am C D

Watched the heavens opened up, heard the angel choir

Em C G D

Sing the holy song of God, to thine own self be true

CHORUS
