Waylon Jennings - Black Rose guitar tab

***************** 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.
