capo 1

Em G
they said i was baptized in dirty water
D Em
by the hands of the devil himself
Em G
between the banks of a whiskey river
D C
beside the highway to hell
Em G
i got scars on my heart and knuckles
D Em
i got debts that i can’t pay
C
yeah but i got a blessing sent down from heaven
D
baby you’re my saving grace

chorus :
D Em
girl you got an outlaw
C
ready to lay down all my guns
D Em
a dirty old hound dog
C
learning new tricks like cuddlin up
Em G
you’ve got a hellcat purrin like a kitten
D Em
you’ve got a sinner down on his knees
C
it had to be hell on an angel
D Em G D Em
lovin the devil outta me

you’d tell me how did i get under
this leather skin i wear
beneath the callouses and tattoos
around the walls i’ve built down there
to this heart i’ve broke and guarded
all alone out on the street flyin
yea it takes an angel to fly with a freebird
baby we’ve got the sky

chorus

hell on an angel , on an angel

chorus
