Verse 1:
D
   Last night I dreamed we was running through the outlands,
D                                            G
   Tears streaming, your pretty face all a wreck.
                         G
   (I held your daddy's gun in my tremblin' hands) 
Dsus2                                     G
   And down the highway another stranger comes, 
                                        D
   You gotta take 'em, baby, when they come.

   'Cause for sure some fool's gonna wanna fight,

   You've got to take 'em, baby, as they come.

   You gotta take 'em, baby, when they come.

Verse 4:
D
   Little girl, gone are the days,
D                                G
   Faded away into a clear blue night, 
                 G
   (And all the vows that we made)
Bm                                          G
   Lie shattered and broken in the morning light,

   If I could take all your sorrow
                                         G
