             Em
             The cold wind blew the preacher grieved
                C
             He said they're comin' after me
               D                               Em
             I ain't exactly what I seem to be

             Em
             He pulled his pistol from his side
             C
             Pointed it at me and cried
                 D                                Em
             And then he laid a bullet deep in my chest

             Em
             He stood still revealin' the story
             C
             That I knew was true before
                 D                       Em
             And now because of it I lay dying

             Em
             He claimed to run with Jesse James,
             C
             William Bonnie, and they all the same
              D                                    Em
             I ain't no preacher man I was born of fire

Pre Chorus:  A                             G*     Em   F#*
             Hey can't you hear that train coming now
             A                                    G*    Em
             Rollin' fast down the tracks to hell their bound

Chorus:      C        D         G  F#* Em
             Well I'm in over my head again
             C            D              Em
             I hear those pistols layin' down
                 C      D          G       F#*   Em
             And I have takin' the lives of many men
             C       D              Em
             Now the angel's comin' down
                        C          D             Em
             I said the Angel of Death is coming down

             Em
             Well up in the horizon
             C
             Laid the red sun beatin' cold and dying
                 D                                         Em
             And taking with it all the lives the preacher stole

             Em
             Well you see the preacher is not real
               C
             He clench his fists of rage and steal
                 D                               Em
             And spit the fires of Satan at your soul

             Em
             He beat the path to Heaven's door
                C
             The angels said they'd take no more
             D                                Em
             Now he walks the Earth forever lone

             Em
             And on the stone that marked his death
                 C
             When he did finally lay to rest
             D                               Em
             Were the lonely words "I'm going home"
