Capo on 1st fret
              
 
 
 
 
                Em                G   
They said I was baptized in dirty water 
       D                     Em   
By the hands of the devil himself 
            Em                 G 
Between the banks of a Whiskey River 
           D          C 
Beside the Highway to Hell 
      Em                    G  
I got scars on my heart and knuckles 
      D                  Em  
I got debts that I can't pay 
         C 
Yeah but I got a blessing sent down from heaven 
D 
Baby you're my saving grace 
 
 
 
 
                D  Em   
Girl you got an outlaw 
         C 
Ready to lay down all my guns 
            D     Em 
A dirty old hound dog 
         C  
Learning new tricks like cuddlin up 
             Em                    G 
You've got a hellcat purrin like a kitten 
             D                  Em   
You've got a sinner down on his knees 
             C 
It had to be hell on an angel 
D                     Em  G  D  Em 
Lovin the devil outta me 
 
 
You'd tell me how did I get under 
This leather skin I wear 
Beneath the callouses and tattoos 
Around the walls I've built down there 
To this heart I've broke and guarded 
All alone out on the street flyin 
Yea it takes an angel to fly with a freebird 
Baby we've got the sky 
 
Chorus 
 
Hell on an angel, on an angel 
 
Chorus
