Dust of the Chase Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]So, [G]I co[D]me[Am]
down from
Oklahoma with a [G]pistol in my boot
[D]A pair of dice, a deck of cards,
a [Am]Bible in my suit
I come her as the 'cause of tears,
[G]I'm just a crying shame
[D]Seven stud or eternal blood,
I'm [Am]lookin' for a game

[Verse 2]
I double crossed the State of Texas and [G]they
give me a little time
[D]I taught myself to double cut the cards
and hold [Am]scriptures in my mind
I learned to love the tumblin'
dice [G]and to believe the word
[D]Tombstones or rolling bones,
beats [Am]anything I ever heard

[Verse 3]
[Am]Patience is a virtue [G]that I don't possess
[D]And I can't deny that Heaven lies
be[Am]neath a cotton dress
How small a part of time we share
[G]'till we hear the sound of wings
[D]I'm lost in the dust [Am]of the chase that

[Interlude 1]
my life brings
[Am][G][D][Am]
[G][D][Am]

[Verse 4]
I have walked through God's green [G]pastures
beneath these rich blue [D]skies
I have seen the fall [Am]of man and the
kingdom hidden from their eyes
I have heard the roar of thunder and
[G]I've felt the lightening bolt
And when I [D]walk through the valley
of the shadow of death
[Am]I take along Samuel Colt

[Verse 5]
Every night I kiss the cards [G]and
I hold them to my breast
[D]And when I see the King of Hearts I[Am]
know that I am blessed
And though my eyes are blind sometimes,
I [G]know there's something there
So when the [D]times at hand and I kill a man, I,
[Am]I say a little prayer

[Interlude 2]
[Am][G][D][Am]
[G][D][Am]
[G][D][Am]
[G][D][Am]

[Verse 6]
So I [Am]come down from Oklahoma
with a [G]pistol in my boot
[D]A pair of dice, a deck of cards,
a [Am]Bible in my suit
How small a part of time we share
till [G]we hear the sound of wings
I'm [D]lost in the dust of the [Am]chase
that my life brings

[Verse 7]
How small a part of time we share [G]till
we hear the sound of wings
I'm [D]lost in the dust of the [Am]chase

[Outro 1]
that my life brings
[Am][G][D][Am]
