Billy Joe Shaver - Black Rose guitar chord

Black Rose

B.J. Shaver

INTRO: A

A D

Way down in Virginia

A E

Amongst the tall grown sugercane

A D

Lives a simple man and a dominacre hen

E A

And a rose of a different name

Well the first time I felt lightnin'

I was standin' in the drizzlin' rain

With a tremblin hand and a bottle of gin

And a rose of a different name

CHORUS:

A D

The devil made me do it the first time

A E

The second time I done it on my own

A D

Lord put a handle on this simple-headed man

E A

Help me leave that black rose alone

SOLO

When the devil made that woman

Lord he threw the pattern away

She were built for speed with the tools ya need

To make a new fool everyday

Now way down deep and dirty

On the darkest side of shame

You'll find this cane-cuttin' man doin' it again

With that rose of a different name

CHORUS (2x)

SOLO out
