Black Rose Chords

(ver. 1)
Billy Joe Shaver
[Verse 1]
A           D
Way down in Virginia
            A                E
Amongst the tall grown sugar canes
        A                D
Lived a simple man and a dominicker hen
      E                   A
And a rose of a different name
 
[Verse 2]
          A                 D
Well, the first time I felt lightning
      A                         E
I was standing in the drizzling rain
       A                    D
With a trembling hand and a bottle of gin
      E                   A
And a rose of a different name
 
[Chorus]
          A                       D
Well, 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 a simple headed man
            E                     A
And help me leave that black rose alone
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
         A               D
When the devil made that woman
          A                 E
Lord, she threw the pattern away
        A                        D
She was built for speed with the tools you need
          E              A
To make a new fool every day
 
[Verse 4]
A                 D
Way down deep and dirty
       A              E
On the darker side of shame
                 A                D
You'll find this cane cuttin' man doing it again
          E                   A
With that rose of a different name
 
[Chorus]
          A                       D
Well, 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 a simple headed man
            E                     A
And help me leave that black rose alone
 
          A                       D
Well, 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 a simple headed man
            E                     A
And help me leave that black rose alone
