Intro: DAmGDDAmCD
Strapped my guns and courage on set my cattle free
DFGD
Rolled a smoke and I made a vow no more to be reviled
DAmCD
Combed her hair and laid her out pretty as you please
EmCGD
Watched the fire light up the night, crying like a child
DAmCD
Saw a man in San Antone shoot down a dancin' queen
DFGD
And asked him on his hangin day, what was he thinkin of
DAmCD
He said I never liked the way she treated me so mean
EmCGD
In the end I'll tell you friend, I did it all for love
Chorus:
GDABmAG
Stood out on the ragged edge and there I took the fall
DAmGD
I did it all for love my friend, for love I did it all
DAmCD
Just this side of Devil's Dream above the sulphur mine
DFGD
I found the man who robbed me of the girl I loved and lost
DAmCD
I asked him before he died what made him cross the line
EmCGD
He asked me did I mean the line that I just stepped across
Chorus:
GDABmAG
Stood out on the ragged edge and there I took the fall
DAmGD
I did it all for love my friend, for love I did it all
BmAGDEE7AG
I..... Wonder why?
DAmCD
I've walked this earth these many years and left a trail of fire
DFGD
But once I was a gentle man every bit like you
DAmCD
Watched the heavens open up, heard the angel choir
EmCGD
Sing the holy song of God, to thine own self be true
Chorus:
GDABmAG
Stood out on the ragged edge and there I took the fall
DAmGD
I did it all for love my friend, for love I did it all
