[Verse]
F              C           Dm   
Sittin in this lonely town 
                             Bb
wonderin when things are going to 
change
F       C                   Dm
Dreamin my life away and it seems 
them dreams have
              Bb
turned into a bunch of dust clouds
F         C                Dm   
Gettin my nerve up, but my past 
             Bb
is pullin me down
F        C                   Dm 
Wonderin how long this black 
             Eb7
sheep can stick around

F        C                   Dm 
Somebody told me once before you
              Bb
 can never go home again once you
F          C                      
leave. Say anything just to scare 
Dm               Bb
me away from the truth of who I am 
and what I
F             C                  
believe. So I thanked him for his
                  Dm             
 two cents with a shake and some 
Bb
sympathy
Continues after the ad
F                  C             
And I packed up my blue jeans and
   Dm                 Eb7
 I headed for the big prize of my 
freedom

[Chorus]
F   C                Dm         
Bye bye black sheep, black sheep
        Bb
 of the family
F   C         Dm             Bb
Bye bye black sheep how that 
               C
means so much to me
F   C         Dm             Bb
Bye bye to my friends and my family
F   C         Dm                
Bye bye black sheep goin off to 
Eb7         E  F
set my soul,   set it free

[Bridge]
G                          Bb
Times they were a changin, I did 
just a little re-arrangin
G                      Bb
Take a couple chances, my progress 
it advances
C                   C
To that prize of my freedom*

F  C  Dm  Bb  x2

[Verse 2]
F                            C    
(spoken) It's written in the stars
 Dm                      Bb
 steel bars never will a prison cell
 make
F       C                       
(spoken) Once I find that sweet 
Dm                        Bb
home or a place I like to call home 
anyway
F                C          
Some people will say I'm crazy 
              Dm          Bb
singin out loud like I do here on 
the street
F            C                  
When I got a song I sing it out 
Dm                    Eb7
loud and if you don't like that my 
friend,
Eb7
Well I'm gonna say

[Chorus]
F   C         Dm                
Bye bye black sheep / oh bye 
         Bb
bye, oh bye bye, the black sheep of 
the family
F   C         Dm                
Bye bye black sheep / goodbye to
             Bb
 my friends, and black sheep,
F   C         Dm                
Bye bye black sheep / you know 
you always means so much to me, so 
                          Bb

F   C         Dm                
Bye bye black sheep goin off to
