      Bm       D     A                  E      F#m
There are some saints that have been forgotten
     A                  D       Bm
Like most of my drunken prayers
                   D            A                   E      F#m
They say there's a heaven. It's somewhere above the yonder
              A                  D    Bm
Where there's no more crosses to bear

            D     A              E        F#m
And there's ghosts all along the highways
            A                 D    Bm
And there's storms out on the sea
        D       A                 E      F#m
My only hope is somewhere in that heaven
               A          D   A
Someone says a prayer for me

          E                  D      A
I've been ridin' stone blind horses
           E           D     A
Never seen a reason to believe
          E        F#m                D
Hey sweet Genevieve  say a prayer for me
                   A            E
And the wild young cowboys; old drunks;
  D
The paramours and thieves


harmonica solo


    Bm           D      A                E         F#m
The high slurred whistle of a red-winged blackbird
                 A                       D   Bm
Sounds like he's singin' oh that I might die
         D        A              E      F#m
It's his song for those who have fallen
                     A           D   A
Unrepentant and with no more alibis

          E                  D      A
I've been ridin' stone blind horses
           E           D     A
Never seen a reason to believe
          E        F#m                D
Hey sweet Genevieve  say a prayer for me
                   A            E
And the wild young cowboys; old drunks;
  D
The paramours and thieves

          E        F#m                D
Hey sweet Genevieve  say a prayer for me
                   A            E
And the wild young cowboys; old drunks;
  D                     A
The paramours and thieves
