Four Black Sheep Martha Wainwright Note: This is a free-flowing song; the chords are all right, but where exactly in the lyrics chord changes take place changes, depending on the whim of the performer. Proper chord voicings, where uncommon, may be found at the bottom. D5 * Get in the car we're late for the gig C5 E5 A5 But don't go too fast it's been snowin' since 10 am C5 E5 A5 We never will be this free again D5 Just over the bridge, crossin' the Gatineau C5 E5 A5 To the side that I know where the light becomes strange C5 E5 A5 And we'll never be this free again. D5 On our way home singin' the songs that we learned on our mother?s knee C5 E5 A5 Four black sheep in need C5 E5 A5 Tryin' or cryin' to be free. D5 D5 D5 A5 A5 A5 A5 Jesse's been drinkin' again and again he won't believe, he can't believe A5 A5 A5 A5 G5 We can see right through his soul. D5 Mom and Dad are on their way, they know these roads C5 E5 A5 They've been travelling a lonely life. C5 E5 A5 Black sheep they too were born in the night. D5 And we'll meet at the lodge to suck on life as we look up at the sky C5 E5 A5 that we don't feel the same. C5 E5 A5 And we'll never be this free again. F#5 E5 E5 May walked away in the snow sayin' she was through. F#5 And Frere Jacques would never want to ring the bell to tell us all E5 E5 We already knew A5 * B5 * That out there in the freezing night we will not be all right A5 * Four black sheep travellin' different speeds Angry at the world Losing their way in the cold blue snow. E5 * Red on black on white - it glowed. C5 E5 A5 We will never feel that free again. C5 E5 A5 We will never feel that free again. E5 * After the show back on the road to Montreal D5 F#5 B5 There were diamonds piercin' our eyes D5 E5 B5 And the snow pilin' up on either side. E5 Jesse took the wheel, there was an appeal to stop the ride D5 F#5 B5 but we were just four black sheep in the night. D5 F#5 B5 Tryin' to hold on for our lives. E5 We never made it home - spinnin' out on the road D5 F#5 B5 We took to the sky where we were finally free for the last time. D5 F#5 B5 Flyin' high at the end of our lives. D5 F#5 B5 Four black sheep deep in the white light D5 F#5 B5 Red on black on white in the night D5 F#5 B5 I said red on black on white in the night D5 F#5 B5 I said red on black on white in the night D5 F#5 B5 Red on black on white in the night D5 F#5 B5 Red on black on white in the night?
