Gm
Black crow laughing on a fenced porch
C
Far as I can tell
Gm
There gotta be something behind me
C
Lord, cause I feel I'm doing well
Gm
I ain't been staying up late
C
Making folks wait like I've done before
Gm
For me to get on track
C
Make up for what I lack
FBbGm
Black crow, I ain't a joke no more
Gm
Cold, cold empty home
C
What's a man to do when he ain't got no dough?
Gm
And his door's been kicked in
C
By the damn tax man two days ago
Gm
Well, he gets a case of the fools
Wants to break all the rules
C
So he pulls out his gun
Gm
Corner store's a good aim
C
To make a little change
FBbGm
But it's a shame to blame some innocent one
Gm
Lord, I can feel them spirits pulling me down
FC
And a hundred and ten in the pen
Gm
Is a long time when you did no crime
FFCGm
They got the wrong man on that chain
FCGmFCA hundred and ten in the shade (Where I stand)
Gm
I'm a different man
Gm
I guess I'll say old crow
It is funny how it goes
C
I do confess
Gm
What good is freedom outside these walls
C
If you're living dead
Gm
I'm gonna pay my dues
C
Make up no excuse like I did before
Gm
Make it right with the Lord
C
I told the sheriff so
FBbCGm
Black crow I ain't a joke no more
