Verse 1
[Dm]
I wake up in the morning
[C]
And I raise my weary head
[G]
I've got an old coat for a pillow
[Dm]
And the earth was last night's bed
[F]
I don't know where I'm going
[C]
Only God knows where I've been
[G]
I'm a devil on the run, a six gun lover
[Dm]
A candle in the wind

Verse 2
[Dm]
When you're brought into this world
[C]
They say you're born in sin
[G]
Well, at least they gave me something
[Dm]
I didn't have to steal or have to win
[F]
Well, they tell me that I'm wanted
[C]
Yeah, I'm a wanted man
[G]
I'm a colt in your stable, I'm what Cain was to Abel
[Dm]
Mister catch me if you can
Chorus
[G] [D]
I'm going down in a blaze of glory
[G] [D]
Take me now but know the truth
[G] [D]
I'm going out in a blaze of glory
[C]
Lord, I never drew first, but I drew first blood
[G]
I'm no one's son, call me young gun

Verse 3
[Dm]
You ask about my conscience
[C]
And I offer you my soul
[G]
You ask if I'll grow to be a wise man
[Dm]
Well, I ask if I'll grow old
[F]
You ask me if I've known love
[C]
And what it's like to sing songs in the rain
[G]
Well, I've seen love come, I've seen it shot down
[Dm]
I've seen it die in vain
Chorus
[G] [D]
Shot down in a blaze of glory
[G] [D]
Take me now but know the truth

Verse 4
[Dm]
Each night I go to bed
[C]
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
[G]
No, I ain't looking for forgiveness
[Dm]
But before I'm six foot deep
[F]
Lord, I got to ask a favor
[C]
And I hope you'll understand
[G]
'Cause I've lived life to the fullest
[Dm]
Let this boy die like a man
[G]
Staring down a bullet
[Dm]
Let me make my final stand
Chorus

Shot down in a blaze of glory
