BLACK GIRL by The Four Pennies

-Standard tuning

Intro: 2x Dm  Am  F G(Barre) F E

Am           D      F
Black girl, black girl, tell me no lies,
Am      E      Am
where did you sleep last night
Am
In the pines, in the pines,
D          F
where the sun never shines
Am         E      Am
To shiver, the whole night through

Am        D     F
Her husband was a railroad man,
Am      E     Am
killed at the driving wheel
Am           D     F
She found his body all crushed & torn
Am    E    Am
under the twisted steel

Am            D       F
It caused her to weep, it caused her to moan
Am        E    Am
It caused her to lose her mind
Am           D    F
She thought of how she lost her man,
Am      E    Am
So brave, so gentle & kind

SOLO(Am D F Am E Am)

Am          D      F
Now she wonders alone beneath the trees,
Am       E     Am
she's happy to mourn her man
Am             D     F
And the cold wind blows to chill her bones
Am      E       Am
And sea mist hangs over her head

Am           D       F
Black girl, black girl, Where will you go?
Am         E     Am
She goes where the cold wind blows

Am
In the pines, in the pines,
D          F
where the sun never shines

Am             A     F      A
To shiver, the whole night through ..
