[Intro]
E    E    E    E    A
 
B7   E    E    E    E
 
[Verse]
E                      A
Stopped to rest in San Jacinto
B7                         E
  My horse shivered in the rain
                         A
Reflecting back on seven dead men
B7                              E
  My conscience never will come clean
 
                              A
The mission looked warm and inviting
B7                            E
  The padre poured a glass of wine
                             A
He said my sons sit down and rest here
B7                                  E
  Looks like your luck's run out of time
 
[Chorus]
A                          E
  He handed me the book of angels
A                               B7
  Was it heavens thunder that I heard
E                                 A
  Though I can't read the Spanish bible
B7                                E
  But I can feel the power of its words
 
[Solo]
E    E    A    A    B7    B7    E    E
 
[Verse]
                        A
Always running from the gallows
B7                                E
  My soul's so dark it won't come clean
                             A
All my bad deeds come second nature
B7                            E
  My only moods are scared of me
 
[Chorus]
A                          E
  But as I scan the lovely language
A                     B7
  My sins do not go undisturbed
E                                  A
  Though I can't read the Spanish bible
B7                            E
  I can feel the power of its words
 
[Solo]
E    E    A    A    B7    B7    E    E
E    E    A    A    B7    B7    E    E
[Verse]
E                           A
  I saddled up and rode out early
B7                         E
  Before the rising of the sun
                          A
Thanked the padre for his kindness
B7                          E
  As I loaded bullets in my gun
 
[Chorus]
A                              E
  When I looked back I saw him praying
A                              B7
  The sky was full of soothing words
E                        A
  As he read the Spanish bible
B7                              E
  I could feel the power of its words
 
E                              A
  So I go and read the Spanish bible
B7                              E     A  E
But I can feel the power of its words
