C

[Verse 1]
      C                      F            C
I was raised in a small town underneath a steeple
C                             G
Raised with the good book in my hand
C                                     F                 C
Though I loved the Shepherd, I didn't mix well with His people
       Am               G              C
So one day I jumped the fence to find new lands

[Chorus]
C                       F             C
I am just a black sheep lookin' for a family
C                         G
Others just like me wanderin' 'round
C                       F               C
I am just a black sheep out here in the badlands
       Am                 G          C
Hopin' I ain't too damned lost to be found

[Verse 2]
  C                              F               C
I hang with the lone wolves, the outcast and the sinners
         C                       G
We drink beer in the taverns Friday nights
         C                             F                C
We shoot whiskey and we cuss, we throw down and we make up
        Am               G        C
Workin' all our guardian angels overtime

[Chorus]
C                       F             C
I am just a black sheep lookin' for a family
C                         G
Others just like me wanderin' 'round
C                       F               C
I am just a black sheep out here in the badlands
       Am                 G          C
Hopin' I ain't too damned lost to be found

Am  G  C

[Verse 3]
C                             F                 C
Sometimes late at night I get thinking 'bout my Shepherd
       C                               G
How it broke His big ol' heart to see me stray
         C                              F                 C
But if I know the hound of heaven, he's left the flock to find me
            Am                G          C
And when He tracks me down oh happy, happy day

[Chorus]
       C                       F             C
'Cause I am just a black sheep lookin' for a family
C                         G
Others just like me wanderin' 'round
C                       F               C
I am just a black sheep out here in the badlands
       Am                 G          Am     F
Hopin' I ain't too damned lost to be found
       Am                 G          Am            F
Hopin' I ain't too damned lost to be found, found, found
       Am                 G          C
Hopin' I ain't too damned lost to be found

[Outro]
          C                                F              C
When that day comes and He takes me to His throne on that mountain
          C                            G
He'll say welcome home son, you're family
         C                                    F         C
And I'll turn 'round and I'll look out on his heaven of millions
     Am           G               F     C
On a sea of black sheep just like me, oooh
