    Am   C  D

G             D            Em
They say that no man is an island.

    Am          C                 D
And good things come to those who wait.

G                     D               Em
But things I hear are there just to remind me.

C     D                 Em
Every dog will have his day.


    G        D               Em
The spirits, they intoxicate me.

   Am           C             D
I watched them infiltrate my soul.

G             D           G   D  Am  Em  
They tried to say its too late for me.

C       D               Em
Tell my guns I'm coming home.


C           D          G
I swear I'm gonna live forever.

Tell my maker he can wait.

C           D                G  D  Am  Em
I'm riding somewhere south of heaven.

Heading back to Santa Fe.

C             D          Em
Its Judgement Day in Santa Fe.


G          D        Em
Once I was promised absoulution.

Am                C              D
There's only one solution for my sins.

           G                    D             Em
You gotta face your ghosts and know with no illusions

          C             D           Em
That only one of you is going home again.


      G                     D                Em
And I blame this world for making a good man evil.

             Am              C                D
And its this world that can drive a good man mad.

              G                  D            G  D  Am  Em
And its this world that turns a killer into a hero.

        C                   D                 Em
Well I blame this world for making a good man bad.


C           D           G
Now I ain't gettin into heaven.

C       D            Em
If the devil has his way.

I swear I'm gonna live forever.

So I save a prayer when I need it most

To the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost.

    C               D             Em
And sign it from a sinner with no name.

When I meet my maker will he close the book

On the hearts I broke and the lives I took?

        C                   D                  Em

Now I ain't gettin' into heaven.

C      D             Em
If the devil has his way.
