Black Legs

\\\\Wonderful song by Mayo Thompson 
from his 1969 album "Corky's debt to
 his father".////

****As you will notice there are 
sometimes some strange lyrics 
written here, especially
end of the chorus,**
***but that texan accent is too damn
 hard to understand for my french 
ears.*********
**So correct these lyrics yourself, 
and please excuse the 
mistakes.********

E               C#
your black legs fall beside me
E              C#
your hands are open lying
E                  C#

       A              E
but my mind is tied uptight
