Notes: There are chords mixed in with the riffs that I didn't
bother to write out. It's pretty easy to figure out where they
go. Each riff is only written once, but used at least a few times
-- it should be obvious where.
There's one chord that I don't know the name of for sure. I wrote
it as C9maj7 (my best guess), and it looks like this (low to high):
x20010

Tomorrow there'll be hell to pay

C D G
The glory road some day

Two men painted on a midnight sky

And now I lay me down to rest
Am C D
God bless the boy, my bullet in his chest
G D

C D G
Out on the glory road
(Repeat chorus)
