Black Rose--Waylon Jennings
written by Billy Joe Shaver
From the album "Honky Tonk Heroes"

Thanks to Matellmon for the great capo'd tab.   I think this sounds better, myself,
but the other version's still correct, too.

INTRO: G

G             C                    G               D7
Way down in Virginia, amongst the tall grown sugar canes
        G                   C                   D7                 G
Lived a simple man and a domineering hen and a rose of a different name

    G                   C             G                     D7
The first time I felt lightly I was standin in the drizzlin rain
       G                   C                    D7                  G
With a tremblin hand and a bottle of gin and a rose of a different name


CHORUS:
    G                        C            G                         D
The Devil made me do it the first time, second time I done it on my own
G                       C                             D                    G
Lord put a handle on a simple-minded man and help me leave that black rose alone


SOLO


When the Devil made that woman, Lord he threw the pattern away
She was built for speed with the tools you need to make a new fool everyday

Way down deep and dirty, on the darker side of shame
I caught a cane-cutting man and a bottle of gin and a rose of a different name


CHORUS (2x)
