 Verse1:
 I dm wake up in the morning
 And I C raise my weary head
 I've got an G old coat for a pillow
 And the dm earth was last night's bed
 I F don't know where I'm going
 Only C God knows where I've been
 I'm a G devil on the run
 A six gun lover
 A dm candle in the wind
 Verse2:
 When you've dm brought into this world
 They C say you're born in sin
 Well at G least they gave me something
 I didn't have to dm steal or have to win
 Well they F tell me that I'm wanted
 Yeah, C I'm a wanted man
 I'm a G colt in your stable
 I'm what Cain was to Abel
 Mister dm catch me if you can
 Chorus :
 I'm going G down in a blaze of D glory
 Take me G now but know the D truth

 I'm G no one's sone
 Call me young gun

 And I C offer you my soul
 You ask if I'll G grow to be a wise man
 Well I dm ask if I'll grow old
 You F ask me if I've known love
 And what it's like to C sing songs in the rain
 Well, I've G seen love come
 And I've seen it shot down
 I've dm seen it die in vain
 Chorus :
 Shot G down in a blaze of D glory

 I'm the G devil's son
 Call me young gun

 Each dm night I go to bed
 I pray the C Lord my soul to keep
 No I ain't G looking for forgiveness
 But bedmfore I'm six foot deep
 Lord, I F got to ask a favor
 And I C hope you'll understand
 'Cause I've G lived life to the fullest
 Let this dm boy die like a man
G Staring down a bullet
 Let me dm make my final stand
 Chorus :
 Shot G down in a blaze of D glory
 Take me G now but know the D truth
 I'm going G out in a blaze of D glory
 Lord I C never drew first
 But I drew first blood
 and I'm G no one's son
 Call me young D gun C 
 I'm a young G gun D
