G D A D
[Verse 1]
D
Josie Escalido
She lived south of the border
A
In a church her granddaddy's daddy built
A little Catholic mission
A7
Where she spent her days wishing
D
That he would come along and she'd be saved
[Verse 2]
D
Jimmy was an outlaw
An outcast from the bad lands
A A7
He rode a horse as black as his heart
Stayed hopped up on mezcal
Chased whiskey with saloon gals
D
But he never could get Josie off his mind
[Chorus]
G
He said meet me after midnight
D
I'll be riding hot and fast
A
And our love is like a slow dance
D
I'm just trying to make it last
G
And I'm laying down my six guns
D
And surrendering my heart
A
It'll be rosary and sangria
G
Tequila and the cross
D
Outlaws, angels and the lost
[Interlude]
G D A D
[Verse 3]
D
Jimmy married Josie
In that little mountain chapel
A
He made a vow to Josie and the God
He'd turn from his wicked ways
And leave behind his outlaw days
D
And pray for forgiveness from his sins
[Verse 4]
D
But the past is like a storm
That crashes in from the north
A
Rode south with the posse set on death
A7
Blood all over Jimmy's hands and
A
Josie lying in the desert sand
D
With a bullet that tore Jimmy's heart in two
[Chorus]
G
And he screamed meet me after midnight
D
I'll be riding hot and fast
A
And our love is like a slow dance
D
I'm just trying to make it last
G
And I'm laying down my six guns
D
And surrendering my heart
A
It'll be rosary and sangria
G
Tequila and the cross
D
Outlaws, angels and the lost
[Interlude]
G D A D
[Verse 5]
D
When you're searching for the devil
Turns out he's not hard to find
A
He rides a horse as black as his heart
Hell and fire with two six gun
A black horse on a dead end run
D
When he rode into the rangers camp at dawn
[Bridge]
D
Jimmy buried Josie
In the ashes of that chapel
A
Left the rangers lying in the sun
Rode out toward the bad lands
And maybe God will understand
D
That sometimes even angels will get lost
[Chorus]
G
He cried meet me after midnight
D
I'll be riding hot and fast
A
And our love is like a slow dance
D
I'm just trying to make it last
G
And I'm laying down my six guns
D
And surrendering my heart
A
It'll be rosary and sangria
G
Tequila and the cross
*no strum*
Outlaws, angels and the lost
[Outro]
