C              Em          Dm
Theres a black bough at my window
C              Em             Dm
And the leaves scratch at the paint
C      Em                    Dm
In the limbs I watch a litte tip grow
C      Em              Dm
As the wind pushes the rain

[Interlude]
C Em Dm x2

[Verse 2]
C              Em          Dm
There's a wheelbarow in my backyard
C             Em                        Dm
Full of rusty holes where the crows all drink
C              Em                          Dm
Every year the mud takes takes it a little deeper
C            Em                Dm
It's almost enough to make you think

[Interlude]
Dm

[Chorus]
C           Em                 Dm
Black black black, black black bough
C           Em                 Dm
Black black black, black black bough
C           Em                 Dm
Black black black, black black bough
C           Em                 Dm
Black black black, black black bough

[Interlude]
C Em Dm x2

[Verse 3]
C           Em         Dm
It happened out in the long grass
C        Em                Dm
Sometimes old friends will call
C         Em         Dm
They just say how ya doing
C        Em             Dm
And it's no question at all
C                   Em        Dm
'Cause what does it matter to me
C                   Em                       Dm
It's been a painted globe, maps of lines and seas
C            Em        Dm
What does it matter to me
C           Em            Dm
Where their heart used to be

[Interlude]
Dm

[Chorus]
C           Em                 Dm
Black black black, black black bough
C           Em                 Dm
Black black black, black black bough
C           Em                 Dm
Black black black, black black bough
C           Em                 Dm
Black black black, black black bough
