Em - C - G - G (Intro)


Em  C           G
    Black river blues

Em                  C             G
My cheatin' heart's being torn in two

Em         C                G
I'd love to stay with you a while

Am                  C                            G - D - G - G
But I gotta burn one thousand black river miles

         Em     C
Before I sleep

        G
Before I rest

            Em                C               G
Cause I got two loves burnin' holes inside my chest

         Em            C            G
There is something you know I gotta do

Am              C                          G - D - G - G
Before I lay me down and sleep here beside you

         Em      C   G
When I get home

         Em      C   G
When I get home

         Em      C   G
When I get home

Em                 C             G
There's a two lane highway in my mind

Em            C             G
My heart's divided by white lines

Em         C             G
So what am I supposed to do

Am                          C                          G - D - G - G
When the lane I love is the lane takes me farther from you

               Em         C
And that black river's

          G
Callin' my name

         Em         C            G
And if I don't go I know I'll go insane

         Em              C                       G              
And I'll walk a thousand miles in these worn out shoes

Am                   C                          G - D - G - G
And then I'll lay me down and sleep here beside you

         Em      C   G
When I get home

         Em      C   G
When I get home

         Em      C   G
When I get home
