Black Sheep Boy Chords

(ver. 2)
Okkervil River
Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy
written by Tim Hardin

Capo 2 
Played in C, Actual Key D
There's a nifty fingerpicking pattern thats not too hard, but I don't have the patience to tab it

C      C/B       Am
Here I am back home again
G
I’m here to rest

C        C/B      Am
All they ask is where I’ve been
G                 C    C/B
Knowing I’ve been west 

Am               G
I’m the family’s unowned boy
F                C
Golden curls of envied hair
C      C/B         Am
Pretty girls with faces fair
G                    C
See the shine in the black sheep boy 

       C     C/B       Am
If you love me let me live in peace
G
And please understand
         C        C/B              Am
That the black sheep can wear the golden fleece
G                    C   C/B
And hold the winning hand

Am               G
I’m the family’s unowned boy
F                C
Golden curls of envied hair
C      C/B         Am
Pretty girls with faces fair
G                    C     C/B
See the shine in the black sheep boy 

Am               G
I’m the family’s unowned boy
F               C
Golden curls of envied hair
C      C/B          Am
Pretty girls with faces fair
G                    C
See the shine in the black sheep boy
