***************** BLACK ROSE *****************
written by Billy Joe Shaver
performed by Waylon Jennings.
Capo on the 3rd fret.
Verse 1:
E A
Way down in Virginia
E B
Amongst the tall grown sugar canes
E A
Lived a simple man and a domineering hen
B E
And a rose of a different name
Verse 2:
E A
The first time i fell lightly
E B
I was standing in the drizzling rain
E A
With a trembling hand and a bottle of gin
B E
And a rose of a different name
Chorus:
E A
The devil made me do it the first time
E B
The second time i done it on my own
E A
Lord put a handle on a simple handed man
B E
And help me leave that black rose alone
Verse 3:
E A
When the devil made that woman
E B
Lord she threw the pattern away
E A
She was built for speed with the tools you need
B E
To make a new fool every day
Verse 4:
E A
Way down deep and dirty
E B
On the darker side of shame
E A
I caught a cane cuttin' man with a bottle of gin
B E
With a rose of a different name
Chorus(x2).
Thanks to David M. Potter for the lyrics.
