D
Intro:
D
Dangerous spirits are at large in the hills
D
cold dark wings is in the air
D G
some have been lost to the shadows within the light
D A D
some are beyond the reach of prayer
D
I myself have stood with the ravens in the rain
D
a darkness in my heart and a younger face
D G
and with a stolen chestnut mare and a blue navy colt
D A D
I was above the law outside the bounds of grace
D
With a pistol in my hand and no kindness in my eyes
D
I wore these as a badge high in fashion
D G
but I had to walk away from the powder and the flame
D A D
the reason was not fear it was compassion
D
I let my revolver fall from my hands
D
and put on the coat of a pilgrim
D G
now there is more to me than between my hat and boots
D A D
and the treasures I own no one can steal them
Solo
D
Now I stand in the dirt with the dust on my boots
D
the road that I choose is less travelled
D G
the flag that I follow is full of holes and torn
D A D
and its sacred threads can never be unraveled
D
And I have met a woman who is in my breath and bones
D
she's at ease in either calico or leather
D G
she prays to a god who does not hurt or hate
D A D
she wears earrings of crystals and feathers
Solo
D
Since I left my revolver in the dirt
D
I have known peace since that hour
D G
and now I see my life passing before my eyes
D A D
as a petal falling from a flower
D
Ah but there are dangerous spirits are at large in the hills
D
cold dark wings is in the air
D G
some have been lost to the shadows within the light
D A D
some are beyond the reach of prayer
