Tuning: Standard

E5 - C5 - G5 - G5 (Intro)


E5  C5           G5
    Black river blues

E5                  C5             G5
My cheatin' heart's being torn in two

E5         C5                G5
I'd love to stay with you a while

A5                  C5                            G5 - D5 - G5 - G5
But I gotta burn one thousand black river miles

         E5     C5
Before I sleep

        G5
Before I rest

            E5                C5               G5
Cause I got two loves burnin' holes inside my chest

         E5            C5            G5
There is something you know I gotta do

A5              C5                          G5 - D5 - G5 - G5
Before I lay me down and sleep here beside you

         E5      C5   G5
When I get home

         E5      C5   G5
When I get home

         E5      C5   G5
When I get home

E5                 C5             G5
There's a two lane highway in my mind

E5            C5             G5
My heart's divided by white lines

E5         C5             G5
So what am I supposed to do

A5                          C5                          G5 - D5 - G5 - G5
When the lane I love is the lane takes me farther from you

               E5         C5
And that black river's

          G5
Callin' my name

         E5         C5            G5
And if I don't go I know I'll go insane

         E5              C5                       G5              
And I'll walk a thousand miles in these worn out shoes

A5                   C5                          G5 - D5 - G5 - G5
And then I'll lay me down and sleep here beside you

         E5      C5   G5
When I get home

         E5      C5   G5
When I get home

         E5      C5   G5
When I get home
