Gm
Black crow laughing on a fenced porch
       C
Far as I can tell
               Gm
There gotta be something behind me
                       C
Lord, cause I feel I'm doing well
             Gm
I ain't been staying up late
                            C
Making folks wait like I've done before
          Gm
For me to get on track
C
Make up for what I lack
F                     Bb      Gm
Black crow, I ain't a joke no more


Gm
Cold, cold empty home
                                 C
What's a man to do when he ain't got no dough?
        Gm
And his door's been kicked in
                    C
By the damn tax man two days ago
         Gm
Well, he gets a case of the fools

Wants to break all the rules
C
So he pulls out his gun
               Gm
Corner store's a good aim
C
To make a little change
F                   Bb                 Gm
But it's a shame to blame some innocent one


                                  Gm
Lord, I can feel them spirits pulling me down
      F                      C
And a hundred and ten in the pen
                                Gm
Is a long time when you did no crime
F F C                                 Gm
       They got the wrong man on that chain
F                        C                    Gm F C
A hundred and ten in the shade (Where I stand)
                    Gm
I'm a different man


Gm
I guess I'll say old crow

It is funny how it goes
C
I do confess
Gm
What good is freedom outside these walls
          C
If you're living dead

           Gm
I'm gonna pay my dues
                         C
Make up no excuse like I did before
        Gm
Make it right with the Lord
C
I told the sheriff so
F          Bb        C       Gm
Black crow I ain't a joke no more
