Intro
F#m E A
[Verse]
F#m E A
Wendell Walker was a friend of mine.
F#m E A
we’d stain our teeth in the summertime,
F#m E
and with lips of purple, the winter would roll
A C#m
past the boarded windows into our souls
F#m B
and shake our weary bones.
[Verse]
F#m E A
now this past winter was the coldest in years.
F#m E A
it’s hard to explain if you've never lived here,
F#m E
but it locks your doors and starts your mind
A C#m
thinking in circles just to pass the time,
F#m B
and breaks your weary heart.
[Verse]
F#m E A
now Wendell Walker was a man of God,
F#m E A
but he didn’t care much for his sober mind,
F#m E
and when the cold mixed in he was turned around
A C#m
heard the voice of God and the angels sound
F#m B
a message just for him:
[Chorus]
F#m C#m F#m B G#m A
my son, my son, she is the devil’s child
G#m A
won’t you save her while you can
G#m A B
cut down the other man.
[Verse]
F#m E A
now Wendell Walker was a friend of mine,
F#m E A
but he married too young in the summertime.
F#m E
their hearts weren’t ripe so they fell apart
A C#m
and I found myself with a joyful heart
F#m B
as our secret lives began.
[Verse]
F#m E A
we found our moments in between the hours,
F#m E A
when Wendell Walker drove his car to town.
F#m E
but one day he found a letter that I wrote for her
A C#m
on the top of her dresser and in his winter mind
F#m B
he heard the voice of God say:
[Chorus]
F#m C#m F#m B G#m A
my son, my son, she is the devil’s child
G#m A
won’t you save her while you can
G#m A B
cut down the other man.
[Verse]
F#m E A
with the voice of the lord ringing in his ears
F#m E A
and the note to his wife that confirmed his fears,
F#m E
he sat down on the edge of the bed
A C#m
read the letter again to see who’d sent it
F#m B
but it was signed ‘forever yours’.
[Verse]
F#m E A
he stood up slow like he’d just been hit.
F#m E A
walked into the kitchen where his wife was sitting
F#m E
he said, “my mother called on the telephone
A C#m
she says she needs some help so I’ll be back in the morning"
F#m B
and he grabbed his heavy coat.
[Verse]
F#m E A
my phone rang while I was watching the news.
F#m E A
she said the house was ours to cure these winter blues.
F#m E
so I made my way, and we turned the blinds
A C#m
and Wendell walked in just in time
F#m B
to see our secret die and say:
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m C#m F#m B G#m A
my son, my son I’m gonna have to cut you down.
G#m A
he pointed his rifle to my eyes
G#m A
but his hesitating hands
G#m A
were shaking from the cold.
G#m A
so I pushed his gun away,
G#m A
just as he found his strength.
G#m A
and the bullet kissed her lips
B
and I cried:
[Chorus]
F#m C#m F#m B G#m A
my god, my god what have I done?
G#m A
and he reloaded his gun,
G#m A
and he put it in his mouth.
G#m A B
and I stood in the room that I’d created.
[Outro]
