Devil In The Details

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

Verse 1
AmI Earned A Reputation With A Colt's Revolver By My Side
DmFolks All Knew My Name, AmA Texas Ranger's Pride
AmI Chose To Ride With Strangers Through The Bitter Prairie Wind
Said DmThey Were Rough Men, But They Still Acted As My AmFriends

Verse 2
AmI Told Myself They'd Change Before The Journey's End
My DmSteady Hand Beside Them Was My AmDuty As A Friend
AmI Leaned Upon My Reputation But Never Stopped To Pray
Never DmSaw The Crooked Trail BeAmneath My Horse That Day

Pre-Chorus
GNecessity, Pride, Fear Were All With Me To The AmEnd  Am​

Chorus 1
AmThe Devil's In The Details, Whispering Soft And CLow
Wearing Pride And GCertainty On Every Trail We AmGo
Fear And Self-Preservation Can Blind A Faithful CSoul
The Devil's In The GDetails, One Step And Then You'll AmKnow

Am  Am  Am  Am

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

Verse 4
AmI Will Ride Away Tomorrow But Tomorrow Never Came
Each GSunrise Found An Excuse To AmShelter Me From My Shame
AmI Never Fired A Shot, Never Helped To Plan Their Crimes
But With GEvery Silent Moment I Helped Them Cross That AmLine

Instrumental
Am  Am  C  G  Am  Am  x 2

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

Bridge
AmNot GOne Man Had Forced My Hand, No AmOne Had Chained My Soul
I GTraded Truth For Safety, I Now EmPay The Price With My Soul

Pre-Chorus
GNecessity, Pride, Fear Were All With Me To The AmEnd

Chorus 2
AmThe Devil's In The Details, Whispering Soft And CLow
Wearing Pride And GCertainty On Every Trail We AmGo
Fear And Self-Preservation Can Blind A Faithful CSoul
The Devil's In The GDetails, Until We Face The Gallows AmPole  Am​

Outro-spoken
AmI Spent My Life Believing I Knew The Difference
AmBetween Justice And Righteousness
AmLord, I Have No Excuse

Thank You For Bearing The Weight That I Never Could
AmMmm--CMm    GMmmmm
Christ Bore The AmWeight I Could Not CBear
His Mercy GFound Me Waiting AmThere
Mmmm  CMmmmm  GMmmm--AmMm
