Devil's Backbone

	  		 
   Am 
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, what have I done? 

I've fallen in love with a man on the run 
    Am 
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, I'm begging you please 
       Dm                   Am 
Don't take that sinner from me 
         Dm                   Am 
Oh don't take that sinner from me 


    Am 
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, what do I do? 
       G                                   Am 
I've fallen for someone who's nothing like you 
       Am 
He's raised on the edge of the devil's backbone 
     Dm                     Am 
Oh I just want to take him home 
     Dm                     Am 
Oh I just want to take him home 


Am   G  Dm  Am 
Oooooooooh 
Am   G  Dm  Am 
Oooooooooh 


    Am 
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, he's somewhere between 
     G                                 Am 
A hangman's knot, and three mouths to feed 
        Am 
There wasn't a wrong or a right he could choose 
   Dm                 Am 
He did what he had to do 
   Dm                 Am 
He did what he had to do 


Am   G  Dm  Am 
Oooooooooh 
Am   G  Dm  Am 
Oooooooooh 


Am                  G 
Give me the burden, give me the blame 
      Dm                          F 
I'll shoulder the load, and I'll swallow the shame 
Am                   G 
Give me the burden, give me the blame 
     Dm                   F 
How many, how many Hail Mary's is it gonna take? 


       Am 
Don't care if he's guilty, don't care if he's not 
       G                                        Am 
He's good and he's bad, and he's all that I've got 
    Am 
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, I'm begging you please 
      Dm                    Am 
Don't take that sinner from me 
         Dm                   Am 
Oh don't take that sinner from me
