Cmaj9                         C             Cmaj9 
met a brown hair girl preachin brimstone and fire 


D                                  C          Cmaj9 
she drove an old pick up, she had dust on her shoes 
D                                      C                Cmaj9 
she said “let's make for the sunrise, he's called us to move” 
D                               C                 Cmaj9

she drove fast like a rocket, straight like a train 
C                       
120 miles out she asked me my name 


D                                C                   Cmaj9 
at a little truck stop she told them all to reach for the sky 
D                     C                    Cmaj9 
she held up a pistol, there was a grin to her eye 
D                             C       Cmaj9 
she threw me a bible, said to read them a line 
D                             C            Cmaj9 
well i sang like a preacher while she took every dime

Cmaj9                   C               Cmaj9 
we were living in a shack behind a navajo grave 


D                         C             Cmaj9 
i woke one morning to a rope and some words on a sheet 
D                               C            Cmaj9 
she was hangin and the note read "babe, i'm just countin sheep 
D                  C       Cmaj9     C  
and when i get to 100, in heaven we'll meet"

Cmaj9                      C               Cmaj9 
sleepin out on freight beds, sharin bread from my pack 


D                         C                Cmaj9

D                          C              Cmaj9 
that if there's a heaven she's waiting for me 
D                          C                      Cmaj9
