Verse:
Bm E Bm D6
I've been down with a broken heart since the day I learned to speak
Bm E Bm D6
The devil gave me a crooked start when he gave me crooked feet
Bm E Bm D6
But Gabriel he came to me and kissed me in my sleep

And now he's singing like an angel un-til I'm six feet deep

Better men have hit their knees and bigger men have died
