Intro.)
|(C) / / / |(Bb) / (Am) / | x 2

(Verse)
I got (C)turned around in some little town
I'd (Bb)never been to be-(Am)fore
Working my (C)way through a middle-of-June
(Bb)Midnight thunderstorm (Am)
There was (C)something in the headlights
It (Bb)stopped me on a (Am)dime
Well, she was (C)scared to death, so I said
Climb (Bb)in and then she (Am)climbed
Oh, (C)oh, oh, yeah (Bb) (Am)

(Verse)
Well, she was (C)bruised and broke from head to toe
With a (Bb)tear in her blood-stained (Am)shirt
She didn't (C)tell the whole truth but she didn't have to
I (Bb)knew what had happened to (Am)her
I didn't (C)load her down with questions
That (Bb)girl had been through e-(Am)nough
I just (C)threw it in drive, looked in those eyes
And I (Bb)asked her where he (Am)was

(Chorus)
I don't (C)know if he's an angel
'Cause (Bb)angels don't do what he (F)did
He was hell-(C)bent to find the man behind
All the (Bb)whiskey scars I (F)hid
I never (C)thought my day of justice
Would come from a (Bb)judge under a seat (F)
But I (C)knew right then I'd never get hit a-(Bb)gain
When he said to me (F)
Wait in the truck, (C) just wait in the (Bb)truck (F)

(Verse)
Well I (C)knocked and knocked and no one came
So I (Bb)kicked in his double-wide (Am)door
I let the (C)hammer drop before he got
To that (Bb)twelve he was reaching (Am)for
I didn't (C)try to hide my pistol
I didn't (Bb)even try to run (Am)
I just sat on (C)the porch, smoking one of his cigarettes
And waited (Bb)for the cops to come (Am)

(Chorus)
I don't (C)know if he's an angel
'Cause (Bb)angels don't do what he (F)did
He was hell-(C)bent to find the man behind
All the (BXb)whiskey scars I hid (F)
I never (C)thought my day of justice
Would come from a (Bb)judge under a seat (F)
But I (C)knew right then I'd never get hit a-(Bb)gain
When he said to me (F)
Wait in the truck, (C) just wait in the (Bb)truck (F)

(Post-Chorus)
Whoa (C) oh, (whoa) have mercy on (Bb)me, Lord (C)
Have (C)mercy on me, have mercy on (Bb)me (hey), Lord (FS)

(Bridge)
It's been (C)sixty months and she still comes
To (Bb)see me from time to time (F)
It was (C)worth the price, to see a brighter side
Of the (Bb)girl I picked up that night (Am)
And I (C)might be here forever
It ain't (Bb)paradise that's (Am)true
But it's a (C)whole hell of a lot better
Than the (Bb)place I sent him (Am)to, (thank you)

(Outro.)
(C) (Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me)
(Bb)Wait in the truck (have mercy on me)
(F) Just wait in the truck
(C) (Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me)
Wait in the truck (Bb) (Lord, have mercy)
(F) Just wait in the truck
(C) (Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on (Bb)me)
Lord, (F) have mercy on (C)me
(Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on (Bb)me)
Lord (F)
(Have mercy on (C)me)
(C) (Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on (Bb)me)
(F) Wait in the truck (Bb)
(F) Just wait in the truck (C)
(Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me)
(Bb)Wait in the truck (Bb)
(F) Just wait in the truck (C)
