[Intro 1]

[G][D][A]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Josie Escalido, she
lived south of the border
In a church her grand-
daddy's [A]daddy built
A little catholic mission where she would
spend her days wishin'
That he would come along
and she'd be saved
[D]

[Verse 2]
[D]Jimmy was an outlaw and outcast
from the bad lands
He rode a horse as black as [A]his heart
Stayed, hopped up on mezcal,
chased whiskey with saloon gals
But he never could get Josie
off his mind
[D]

[Verse 3]
And he said, "Meet me after [G]midnight
I'll be riding hard [D]and fast
And our love [A]is like a slow dance
I'm just tryin' to make it [D]last
And I'm laying down my
[G]six guns
And surrendering [D]my heart
And it'll be a rosary, san[A]gria,
tequila and [G]a cross
Outlaws,
angels [D]and the lost"

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][A][D]

[Verse 4]
[D]Jimmy married Josie in that little
mountain chapel
And made a vow to Josie [A]an d to God
He'd turn from his wicked ways and
leave behind his outlaw days
And pray for forgiveness from his sins
[D]

[Verse 5]
But the past is like a storm that
crashes in from the north
Rolls south with the posse set on [A]death
Blood all over Jimmy's hands and
Josie lying in the desert sand
With a bullet that tore Jimmy's
heart in two
[D][A]

[Verse 6]
[D]
And he screamed,
"Meet me after [G]midnight
I'll be riding hard and [D]fast
And our love is like [A]a slow dance
I'm just tryin' to make it [D]last
And I'm laying down my
[G]six guns
And surrendering [D]my heart
It'll be a rosary, san[A]gria,
tequila [G]and a cross
Outlaws, angels [D]and the lost"
[G][D][A]
[D]

[Verse 7]
When you're searching for the devil
Turns out he's not hard to find
He rides a horse as black as [A]his heart
Hell and fire with two- six guns
A black horse on a dead end run
When he rode into the rangers

[Interlude 2]
camp at dawn
[D][A][D][A][D]

[Verse 8]
[D]Jimmy buried Josie in the
ashes of that chapel
Left the rangers lying in the sun
[A]Rod[D]e o[A]ut towards the bad lands
And maybe God will [D]un derstand
That [A]sometimes even angels
will get lost
[D]

[Verse 9]
And he cried, "Meet me after [G]midnight
I'll be riding hard [D]and fast
And our love is like [A]a slow dance
I'm just tryin' to make it [D]last
And I'm laying down my
[G]six guns
And surrendering [D]my heart
It'll be a rosary, san[A]gria,
tequila and [G]a cross
Outlaws,
an[A]gels and the lost"
