ANGELS AND OUTLAWS
BRIAN BURN

INTRO: C  Am (4x)

C                Am                             
GOD DRIVES A ’69 CHEVY IMPALA 
     C                         Am
WITH STAINED GLASS WINDOWS AND HYPER-STROBE HEADLIGHTS
G                                               C
YOU CAN HEAR HIS ENGINE WHINE AT THE END…OF THE RADIO DIAL.
C                 Am              
SATURDAY NIGHT IN PIEDRAS NEGRAS,
C                      Am 
NOTHING TO DO HERE BUT DRINK CHEAP TEQUILA 
G                                         C
AND WONDER WHETHER LIFE IS A TREASURE……………OR A TRIAL.

CHORUS

F                         G
SOMEDAY WE’LL MEET ON THE EDGE OF THAT RIVER,
C                          F
AND WE’LL FLY AWAY TO SOME FAR, DISTANT LAND,
      C          F           G              C
WHERE ANGELS AND OUTLAWS CAN WALK…. HAND IN HAND.

I THINK OF HER AS AN ANGEL ABOVE ME,
I COUNT THE TIMES SHE HAS TOLD ME SHE LOVES ME.
BUT NOW I AM BOUND ……TO LIVE OUT MY DAYS ON THE RUN.
SOMETIMES SALVATION IS LOST TO SURVIVAL 
I LIVE BY THE PISTOL, SHE LIVES BY THE BIBLE.
BUT WE’LL MEET AGAIN OVER THERE…. WHEN OUR WORK HERE IS DONE.

CHORUS 
F                             G
SOME OF MY FRIENDS, THEY HAVE TAKEN THE HIGH ROAD,
    C                F
BUT I HAD TO SEE THE THIRD WORLD FIRST-HAND.
F                    G
LIFE IS A MIXTURE OF SHUFFLES AND TANGOS
    C                   F
AND RHYTHMS AND REASONS I DON’T UNDERSTAND
F                           G
I’M A STRANGER IN A STRANGE LIGHT.
F          G        C
GOD, HOW I MISS HER TONIGHT.

C               Am
GOD PLAYS A ’59 BLACK STRATOCASTER 
C                        Am
WITH VIBROLUX REVERB AND BIG BANG PRECISION
        G                                                 C
YOU CAN HEAR HIS HOLY MUSIC TONIGHT ON THE BACK STREETS OF MAN.

CHORUS
