Black Rose(Keyboard chords)

	        INTRO: A 

A               D 
Way down in Virginia 
            A               E 
'mongst the tall grown sugarcane 
        A                D 
Lived a simple man and a dominacre hen 
      E                   A 
And a rose of a different name 


Well the first time I felt lightnin' 
I was standin' in the drizzlin' rain 
With a tremblin' hand and a bottle of gin 
And a rose of a different name 

    A                       D 
The devil made me do it the first time 
    A                           E 
The second time I done it on my own 
A                         D 
Lord put a handle on this simple-headed man 
        E                     A 
Help me leave that black rose alone
 


SOLO 


When the devil made that woman 
Lord he threw the pattern away 
'Cause she were built for speed with the tools you need 
To make a new fool every day 

Now way down deep and dirty 
On the darkest side of shame 
You'll find this cane-cuttin' man a-doin' it again 
With that rose of a different name 


CHORUS (2x)
