Four Black Sheep

Dm*
Get in the car we're late for the gig
                                 C           E  Am
But don't go too fast it's been snowin' since 10 am
   C          E              Am
We never will be this free again
     Dm
Just over the bridge, crossin' the Gatineau
                   C              E               Am
To the side that I know where the light becomes strange
          C     E             Am
And we'll never be this free again.
Dm
On our way home singin' the songs that we learned on our mother’s knee
C          E         Am
Four black sheep in need
C           E           Am
Tryin' or cryin' to be free.
D            Dsus4              D        Asus4 A           Asus4 A
Jesse's been drinkin' again and again he won't believe, he can't believe
Asus4  A   Asus4 A           G
We can see right through his soul.
Dm
Mom and Dad are on their way, they know these roads
             C            E      Am
They've been travelling a lonely life.
C                          E           Am
Black sheep they too were born in the night.
          Dm
And we'll meet at the lodge to suck on life as we look up at the sky
     C        E         Am
that we don't feel the same.
          C     E             Am
And we'll never be this free again.
F#m                                        Esus4  E
May walked away in the snow sayin' she was through.
    F#m
And Frere Jacques would never want to ring the bell to tell us all
           Esus4  E
We already knew
A*                                                      Bm*
That out there in the freezing night we will not be all right
A*
Four black sheep travellin' different speeds

Angry at the world

Losing their way in the cold blue snow.
                           E7*
Red on black on white - it glowed.
           C  E                 Am
We will never feel that free again.
         C    E                 Am
We will never feel that free again.
Em*
After the show back on the road to Montreal
           D        F#m           Bm
There were diamonds piercin' our eyes
        D           E             Bm
And the snow pilin' up on either side.
Em
Jesse took the wheel, there was an appeal to stop the ride
            D               F#m          Bm
but we were just four black sheep in the night.
D           F#m           Bm
Tryin' to hold on for our lives.
Em
We never made it home - spinnin' out on the road
                                 D       F#m                Bm
We took to the sky where we were finally free for the last time.
D                  F#m        Bm
Flyin' high at the end of our lives.
D                F#m               Bm
Four black sheep deep in the white light
D               F#m          Bm
Red on black on white in the night
       D               F#m           Bm
I said red on black on white in the night
       D               F#m           Bm
I said red on black on white in the night
D               F#m           Bm
Red on black on white in the night
D                F#m          Bm
Red on black on white in the night…
