Key: B
Introduction:
Bm D A E F#m
There are some saints that have been forgotten
A D Bm
Like most of my drunken prayers
D A E F#m
They say there's a heaven. It's somewhere above the yonder
A D Bm
Where there's no more crosses to bear
D A E F#m
And there's ghosts all along the highways
A D Bm
And there's storms out on the sea
D A E F#m
My only hope is somewhere in that heaven
A D A
Someone says a prayer for me
E D A
I've been ridin' stone blind horses
E D A
Never seen a reason to believe
E F#m D
Hey sweet Genevieve say a prayer for me
A E
And the wild young cowboys old drunks
D
The paramours and thieves
harmonica solo
Bm D A E F#m
The high slurred whistle of a red-winged blackbird
A D Bm
Sounds like he's singin' oh that I might die
D A E F#m
It's his song for those who have fallen
A D A
Unrepentant and with no more alibis
E D A
I've been ridin' stone blind horses
E D A
Never seen a reason to believe
E F#m D
Hey sweet Genevieve say a prayer for me
A E
And the wild young cowboys old drunks
D
The paramours and thieves
E F#m D
Hey sweet Genevieve say a prayer for me
A E
And the wild young cowboys old drunks
D A
The paramours and thieves
