Chords

Am                        F
Passing through the arms of satan

Dm                        F     G
Reaching for the hands of god

Am                        F
Robbing every mind for wisdom

Dm                       F     G
Running so he won't get caught

Am                       F
He's outlawed by majority

Dm                       F      G
Been branded all his life

Am                       F
Some say that he's a sinner man

Dm                       F      G
As he rides from day to night

Am    G                 F
He's a bad man, so they say

              Dm            G    Am
Living for his love and living free

         G                F
Riding swift and secretly

         Dm         G        Am
So he'll miss the hanging tree

         G              F
Wounded spirit on the wind

         Dm          G       Am
Riding to his dream and destiny
He's laughing at the wanted posters Calling for his friends to see Laughing aloud as he rides away Kicking up the dust with speed Time hands him down a pathway And freedom is a horse he rides Glory is a dream he's after And fortune is his heart's delight Riding swift and secretly So he'll miss the hanging tree Wounded spirit on the wind Riding to his dream and destiny
