♫ Verse 1:
      E            A E
Well I sure take it with me wherever I go
    E                 A  E
And you might like to see it but it never does show
    E               A  E
Like a wind in the valley that never does blow
     E              A  E
Like the grass in the back you never did mow

♫ Chorus:
    E         A   E
It's a black sky formin' on the ridge
    E           A   E
It's a woman waitin' standin' on the bridge
     E               A   E
It's the price that you pay for walkin' on the ledge
   E*
It's everything you do and nothin' that you did

     E                 A    E
Well you might see me drivin' in the wrong side of town
    E                  A   E
And you might see me shinin' when the rain's comin' down
    E                 A  E
Like a diamond that's hidin' in the lost and found
    E               A  E
Like a coon that's runnin' from a red bone hound


♫ Chorus:
    E         A   E
It's a black sky formin' on the ridge
    E           A   E
It's a woman waitin' standin' on the bridge

It's everything you do and nothin' that you did

     E               A  E
Well the wood keeps burnin' in the old wood stove
    E                A  E
And the cows keep goin' where they done been drove
   E               A   E
And a light keeps glowin' in a dead man's cove
   E                  A   E
And a loom keeps spinnin' where the weave gets a wove


♫ Chorus:
    E         A   E
It's a black sky formin' on the ridge
    E           A   E
It's a woman waitin' standin' on the bridge
     E               A   E
It's the price that you pay for walkin' on the ledge
   E*
It's everything you do and nothin' that you did
