one of my favorite songs to play by...
the Builders and the Butchers
"BLACK DRESSES"
[A]Little sister, there's blood on the tracks,
[D]And a lit cigarette but you're not comin' back,
[C]To a town that was built on [E]black gold and iron ore[A].
[A]And the kettle got hot, and it boiled and it steamed,
[D]And you can't run away from the worst of your dreams,
[C]They'll string you up when you're [E]tryin' to fall fast aslee[A]p.
[A]She wore black dresses (black dresses)
[D]And she never cried in the morning.
[C]She's got a bottle in paper
[E]So she can forget her [A]name.
[A]She wore black dresses (black dresses)
[D]And she never smiled in the morning.
[C]She's got a bottle in paper
[E]So she can forget her [A]name.
[A]Well her home town was built by a few greedy men,
[D]And people tell me she was descended from them.
[C]She's been playin' in the darkness [E]ever since she was a [A]kid.
[A]And she doesn't mourn for her man's come and gone,
[D]She's worn the color of black all along,
[C]And she was born with a [E]stone where there shoulda been a [A]heart.
[A]She wore black dresses (black dresses)
[D]And she never cried in the morning.
[C]She's got a bottle in paper
[E]So she can forget her [A]name.
[A]She wore black dresses (black dresses)
[D]And she never smiled in the morning.
[C]She's got a bottle in paper
[E]So she can forget her [A]name.
[D]Did you ever meet a [A]girl who was born the [E]victim of a [A]name?
[D]I know, 'cuz I'm a [A]boy who was born the [E]victim of a [A]name.
[D]Did you ever meet a [A]girl who was born the [E]victim of a [A]name?
[D]I know, 'cuz I'm a [A]boy who was born the [E]victim of a [D]name.
[A]Little sister, there's blood on the tracks,
[D]And a lit cigarette but you're not comin' back,
[C]To a town that was built on [E]black gold and iron or[A]e.
[A]She wore black dresses
[D]And she never cried in the morning.
[C]She's got a bottle in paper
[E]So she can forget her [A]name.
