Intro:C C Bb Am x2
C
I got turned around in some little town
Bb Am
Iʼd never been to before
C
Working my way through a middle-of-June
Bb Am
Midnight thunderstorm
C
There was something in the headlights
Bb Am
It stopped me on a dime
C
Well, she was scared to death, so I said
Bb Am
Climb in and then she climbed
C Bb Am
Ohh, ohh ohh yeah
C
Well, she was bruised and broke from head to toe
Bb Am
With a tear in her blood-stained shirt
C
She didnʼt tell the whole truth but she didnʼt have to
Bb Am
I knew what had happened to her
C
I didnʼt load her down with questions
Bb Am
That girl had been through enough
C
I just threw it in drive, looked in those eyes
Bb Am
And I asked her where he was
Chorus: C
I donʼt know if heʼs an angel
Bb F
ʼCause angels donʼt do what he did
C
He was hellbent to find the man behind
Bb F
All the whiskey scars I hid
C
I never thought my day of justice
Bb F
Would come from a judge under a seat
C Bb
But I knew right then Iʼd never get hit again
F
When he said to me
C
Wait in the truck
Bb F
Just wait in the truck
C
Well I knocked and knocked and no one came
Bb Am
So I kicked in his double-wide door
C
I let the hammer drop before he got
Bb Am
To that twelve he was reaching for
C
I didnʼt try to hide my pistol
Bb Am
I didnʼt even try to run
C
I just sat on the porch, smoking one of his cigarettes
Bb Am
And waited for the cops to come
Chorus: C
I donʼt know if heʼs an angel
Bb F
ʼCause angels donʼt do what he did
C
He was hellbent to find the man behind
Bb F
All the whiskey scars I hid
C
I never thought my day of justice
Bb F
Would come from a judge under a seat
C Bb
But I knew right then Iʼd never get hit again
F
When he said to me
C
Wait in the truck
Bb F
Just wait in the truck
Bridge: C
Whoa oah (whoa)
Bb F
Have mercy on me, Lord
C
Have mercy on me
Bb F
Have mercy on me-e, Lord
C
Itʼs been sixty months and she still comes
Bb Am
To see me from time to time
C
It was worth the price, to see a brighter side
Bb Am
Of the girl I picked up that night
C
And I might be here forever
Bb Am
It ainʼt paradise thatʼs true
C
But itʼs a whole hell of a lot better
Bb Am
Than the place I sent him to, yeah
