The Unrepentant
by Steve Earle
Album- I Feel Alright
Tabbed by Eric Pickerill

This song is extremely confusing on when to change chords (it was for me at least), so it will help
to listen to the song if you have troubles.


Intro

A-G-D-A

       G              D
In the middle of the night
                   A
In the middle of a lonely night
G                   D
Stands alone in the pale moonlight
                       A     
Screams out in defiance
G           D       
He's got no one to turn to
          A                 
You could talk ‘til you turn blue
G                  D
He'd just turn his back on you
                A
Ain't no compromising


(Chorus)

            A G  D
‘Cause he's      totally untamed
   A               
No fear of the unnamed
G         D
But he'll take the blame
                             A
‘Cause someone's gotta do it



Now he's out on the highway
He's got the key and the right of way
His tank is full and his toll's paid
Hellbound and determined
He run a dangerous payload
When he comes to the crossroads
Ah, man it's all times to explode
You'll just see the sky burnin'

(Play Chorus)


Now he's standin' at hell's door
With a bad attitude and a forty-four
The devil said, "What's up man
Now what you come here for?"
He said, "Man, let's just get to it"
He said, "I always heard that you were the bad one
There's a few places I ain't been, a few things I ain't done
You got your pitchfork and I got my gun"
Someone's gotta do it


(Play Chorus twice)
