E             A              E
wayward and down, Lord, wayward and down
                     F#5           B
i can't help falling wayward and down
               E   (E 0    2 3)  A
sweet is the apple, dark is the town
             E      B               E
i can't help falling wayward and down

      A          E       A        E
born under the sign of original sin
      A        E                            B
born into this mess of a shape that i'm in
A           E          A          E
never had no one to show me around
A               E          B              E
just made my own way wayward and down

                E             A              E
wayward and down, Lord, wayward and down

A              E                  A          E
heaven's the next town with a girl and a bar
A                E                    B
never followed me any particular star
             A         E             A                  E
they say i aimlessly wander, but i've always been bound
     A            E           B              E
the exact same direction   wayward and down

                E             A              E
wayward and down, Lord, wayward and down

beneath me the devil on a lily white mare
    A          E                            B
beside me a girl with black bows in her hair
A               E          A            E
above angels plead in a sweet clear sound
      A           E            B              E
that disappears on the way wayward and down

i guess i'll be going, the whiskey's all gone
     A               E                       B
the crows will give Lola my message at dawn
A                     E          A      E
if she gets lost and lonely i'm easily found
           A                 E        B              E
just take the straight and narrow wayward and down
