Black Rose Chords

(ver. 2)
Waylon Jennings

[Intro]
 G


[Verse 1]
G   Gm   G     C                  G
Way down in Virginia, amongst the tall grown 
      D7    Gm                     C
sugar cane..lived an old man and a Dominiquer 
          D7                  G
hen and a rose of a different name.


[Verse 2]
Em        G                 C
Well, the first time I felt lightning..I was 
G                         D7
standing in the drizzling rain.
       Gm                   C
With a trembling hand and a bottle of gin and 
  D                   G
a rose of a different name.


[Chorus]
G                               C
Was the devil made me do it the first time..the 
Gm                          D7
second time I done it on my own.
G                       C
Lord, put a handle on a simple headed man and 
        D7                      G
help me leave that black rose alone.


[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
G                        C               G
When the devil made that woman, Lord, He threw 
            D7
the pattern away.
        G                        C
She was built for speed with the tools you need 
          D7             G
to make a new fool every day.


[Verse 4]
    Gm            C             G              D
Way down deep and dirty, on the darker side of shame.
           G                      C
I caught a cane cuttin' man and a bottle of gin
         D                   G
with the rose of a different name.


[Chorus]
G                           C               Gm
The devil made me do it the first time..the second
                            D7
second time I done it on my own.
G                       C
Lord, put a handle on a simple headed man and 
        D7                    G
help me leave that black rose alone.


[Chorus]
G                           C               Gm
The devil made me do it the first time..the second
                            D7
second time I done it on my own.
G                       C
Lord, put a handle on a simple headed man and 
        D7                    G
help me leave that black rose alone.


[Outro]
