Black Flowers

INTRO: Am   G   Am

                   G
I live beside this dark coal mine
    Am                  E          
The whistle blows every day on time
E7

         Am                     
When the rain pours down and the 
 G
wind blows hard
      Am      G          Am    G  Am
Black flowers grow in my yard


                                 G
And when I lost my man down that old
 coal shaft
  Am                E          E7
I swear I heard the devil laugh

    Am                      G
The angels laughed and they took my 
heart
          Am      G          Am
Now black flowers grow in my yard


        F               C
And the undertaker is a busy man
         Am                    E  
He got a clean blue shirt, got 
            E7
soft pink hands
      Am                 G
Got a big driveway and a brand new 
car
      Am      G          Am
Black flowers grow in my yard


             F                  C
And when the baby cries, I sing hush
 little one
      Am                   E  
But I swear that I'm gonna come 
        E7
undone
                Am                 
'Cause when the rain pours down and
     G
 the wind blows hard
      Am      G          Am
Black flowers grow in my yard
              G          Am
Black flowers grow in my yard
              G          Am    G  
Black flowers grow in my yard
Am  G  Am
