Put the horses in the stable

Load the mules on the train

Set your pistols on the table

Leave the dogs out in the rain

Take the money that they gave you

Hide it in a mason jar

Nobody now can save you

It don't matter where you are

Turn your lamp down low

Hear the four winds blow

Left for dead in southern Georgia

                        A  Asus4
At the hands of hapless John

D
With your baby waitin' for ya'

A         G               D
You were home before the dawn

D
You know your shakin' hands with Satan

                        A   Asus4
When your mouth is goin' dry

When that law man back in Dayton

Wouldn't look you in the eye
[Chorus]

D
He was nothin' but a grifter

                        A   Asus4
And he came to play the part

D
Disguised as Luke the drifter

A        G              D
Talk about a cheatin' heart

D
And he sold you down the river

                        A  Asus4
when he rode into your town

D
Then that same old Indian giver

A         G                   D
Struck a match and burned it down
[Chorus]
G
Turn your lamp down low

A
Hear the four winds blow

D         A       Bm    A Asus4
Bow your head to pray

G
It ain't what you planned

F#m     Bm              
You got one last stand

Em       G      D
Let the music play
[Interlude] G F#m Bm Em G A [Verse 4]
D
Now you're alone and barely breathing

                        A  Asus4
Looking down from up above

D
Needing something to believe in

A           G           D
One lonely truth and love

D
And the storm is slowly dying

                        A  Asus4
At the breaking of the day

D
All the steel guitars are crying

A            G                  D
I'm rollin' down that lost highway
[Chorus]
G
Turn your lamp down low

A
Hear the four winds blow

D         A       Bm    A Asus4
Bow your head to pray

G
It ain't what you planned

F#m     Bm
You got one last stand

Em       G      D
Let the music play

G
It ain't like you planned

F#m     Bm
You got one last stand

Em      G     D
Let the music play
