  [I] rode myself into the ground, hell it’s almost over now,

  C             F               C      C
    I don’t see nothing but the light

  F          Am                  Em             F                   
    Darkness filled my days, the rising sun has shown the way, [and]

  Dm                          F                       
      The preacher’s lesson,     is simply Armageddon, 

      C                      G
  The devil, he knows how to ride

  Dm                  F                          
     A killer of men,    and no way to save them,

     Hell now we all have to die

     Out of country but, oh my... oh my, [Oh my... oh my]

  Nothing but the light

       F               Am     Em                    F   
  They took my ears in Omaha, thought me dead but I weren’t all [and I]

  C            F               C    C
     Left them bleeding in the mud

  F                    Am          Em                F   
  Branded me for horse thievery, between my eyes for all to see [and I]

     Left them bleeding in the mud

  Dm                             F       
      When this world was made,     [it] was never meant to save

  C              G
     Everyone in kind

  Dm                       F       
      And I don’t believe,    God much had me

      Had me much in mind

      So tell me barkeep,     What is there to drink

      With just minimal risk

  Dm                          F       
      Of blindness or death,      it all tastes of ashes

  C                            G       
      Seems that’s all we ever get, 

                   F       F
  It's all we ever get
