Devil In The Details

Intro-spoken
GmOut On The Frontier, Folks Said Justice Rode With A Badge-Or A Rope
Most Believed That Was Enough—So Did I

Verse 1
GmI Earned A Reputation With A Colt's Revolver By My Side
CmFolks All Knew My Name, GmA Texas Ranger's Pride
GmI Chose To Ride With Strangers Through The Bitter Prairie Wind
Said CmThey Were Rough Men, But They Still Acted As My GmFriends

Verse 2
GmI Told Myself They'd Change Before The Journey's End
My CmSteady Hand Beside Them Was My GmDuty As A Friend
GmI Leaned Upon My Reputation But Never Stopped To Pray
Never CmSaw The Crooked Trail BeGmneath My Horse That Day

Pre-Chorus
FNecessity, Pride, Fear Were All With Me To The GmEnd  Gm​

Chorus 1
GmThe Devil's In The Details, Whispering Soft And A#Low
Wearing Pride And FCertainty On Every Trail We GmGo
Fear And Self-Preservation Can Blind A Faithful A#Soul
The Devil's In The FDetails, One Step And Then You'll GmKnow

Gm  Gm  Gm  Gm

Verse 3
GmThen I Saw The Truth Beneath A Campfire's Dying Light
An CmOld Man Left For Dead Because He GmDared To Do What's Right
I Reached Down For My Six-Gun, Then Slowly Let It Fall  Cm​
Fear Can Sound Like A Reason When The GmDarkness Starts To Fall

Verse 4
GmI Will Ride Away Tomorrow But Tomorrow Never Came
Each FSunrise Found An Excuse To GmShelter Me From My Shame
GmI Never Fired A Shot, Never Helped To Plan Their Crimes
But With FEvery Silent Moment I Helped Them Cross That GmLine

Verse 5
GmThe Law Came Riding Underneath A Blistering Blood-Red Sky
Our CmTrail Had Run Out As GmWe All Tried To Hide
GmThe Rope Was Waiting Quietly Where The Cottonwoods Held Sway
And Every Cm Choice I'd Justified Stood BeGmside Me There That Day

Bridge
GmNot FOne Man Had Forced My Hand, No GmOne Had Chained My Soul
I FTraded Truth For Safety, I Now DmPay The Price With My Soul

Pre-Chorus
FNecessity, Pride, Fear Were All With Me To The GmEnd

Chorus 2
GmThe Devil's In The Details, Whispering Soft And A#Low
Wearing Pride And FCertainty On Every Trail We GmGo
Fear And Self-Preservation Can Blind A Faithful A#Soul
The Devil's In The FDetails, Until We Face The Gallows GmPole  Gm​

Outro-spoken
GmI Spent My Life Believing I Knew The Difference
GmBetween Justice And Righteousness
GmLord, I Have No Excuse

Thank You For Bearing The Weight That I Never Could
GmMmm--A#Mm    MFmmmm
Christ Bore The GmWeight I Could Not A#Bear
His Mercy FFound Me Waiting GmThere
Mmmm  A#Mmmmm  MFmmm--MGmm
