[Strophe]
    Am 
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, what have I done? 
  
I've fallen in love with a man on the run 
    Am 
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, I'm begging you please 
       Dm       C           Am 
Don't take that sinner from me 
         Dm        C          Am 
Oh don't take that sinner from me 
    Am 
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, what do I do? 
       Am                                  Am 
I've fallen for someone who's nothing like you 
       Am 
He's raised on the edge of the devil's backbone 
     Dm           C        Am 
Oh I just want to take him home 
     Dm           C        Am 
Oh I just want to take him home
[Refrain]
Am   Bm   C   D

Am   Bm   C   D 
Ooooooooooooooh
[Strophe]
    Am 
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, he's somewhere between 
     Am                                 Am 
A hangman's knot, and three mouths to feed 
        Am 
There wasn't a wrong or a right he could choose 
   Dm       C         Am 
He did what he had to do 
   Dm       C         Am 
He did what he had to do
[Refrain]
Am   Bm   C   D 
Ooooooooooooooh 
Am   Bm   C   D 
Ooooooooooooooh
[Strophe]
Am                  Bm 
Give me the burden, give me the blame 
     C                      D 
I'll shoulder the load, and I'll swallow the shame 
Am                  Bm 
Give me the burden, give me the blame 
     C                  D 
How many, how many Hail Mary's is it gonna take?
[Outro]
       Am 
Don't care if he's guilty, don't care if he's not 
                                               Am 
He's good and he's bad, and he's all that I've got 
    Am 
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, I'm begging you please 
      Dm        C           Am 
Don't take that sinner from me 
         Dm        C           Am 
Oh don't take that sinner from me
