Em                        C
Passing through the arms of satan

Am                        C     D
Reaching for the hands of god

Em                        C
Robbing every mind for wisdom

Am                       C     D
Running so he won't get caught

Em                       C
He's outlawed by majority

Am                       C      D
Been branded all his life

Em                       C
Some say that he's a sinner man

Am                       C      D
As he rides from day to night

Em    D                 C
He's a bad man, so they say

              Am            D    Em
Living for his love and living free

         D                C
Riding swift and secretly

         Am         D        Em
So he'll miss the hanging tree

         D              C
Wounded spirit on the wind

         Am          D       Em
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
