Dangerous Spirits Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Dangerous spirits are
at large in the hills
[D]
cold dark wings is in the air
[D] [G]
some have been lost to the shadows
[D]within [Am]the light
[D] [A] [D]
some are [E]beyond the reach [Am]of prayer

[Verse 2]
[Am][D]
I myself have stood with the
ravens in the rain
[D]
a darkness in my heart and
a younger face
[D] [G]
and with a stolen chestnut mare and
a [D]blue navy colt
[D] [A] [D]
I was [Am]above the law out[E]side
the bounds of [Am]grace

[Verse 3]
[D] [Am]With a
pistol in my hand and
no kindness in my eyes
[D]
I wore these as a badge
high in fashion
[D] [G]
but I had to walk away from the [D]powder
and the flame
[D] [A] [D]
the [Am]reason was not [E]fear
it was [Am]compassion
[D]
I let my revolver fall from my hands
[D]
and put on the coat of a pilgrim
[D] [G]
now there is more to me
[D]than between my hat and boots
[Am][D] [A] [D]
and the treasures I [E]own no one
[Am]can steal them

[D]

[Verse 4]
[Am]Solo[E][Am][E]
[Am][D]
Now I stand in the dirt with
the dust on my boots
[D]
the road that I choose is less
travelled
[D] [G]
the flag that I follow is [D]full of holes
and torn
[D] [A] [D]
and its [Am]sacred threads can
[E]never be un[Am]raveled

[Verse 5]
[Am][D]
And I have met a woman who is
in my breath and bones
[D]
she's at ease in either calico
or leather
[D] [G]
she prays to a god [D]who does not
hurt or hate
[D] [A] [D]
she wears [Am]earrings of
[E]crystals [Am]and feathers

[Verse 6]
[D] Since I left my [Am]revolver
in the dirt
[D]
I have known peace since
that hour
[D] [G]
and now I see my life [D]passing
before my [Am]eye s
[D] [A] [D]
as a petal falling [E]from [Am]a flower

[Verse 7]
[D] Ah but [Am]there are
dangerous spirits
are at large in the hills
[D]
cold dark wings is in the air
[D] [G]
some have been lost to the [D]shadows
within [Am]the light
[D] [A] [D]
some are bey[E]ond the reach
[Am]of prayer
