CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: Am G Am
I live beside this [G]dark coal mine
The [Am]whistle blows every [E]day on time[E7]
When the [Am]rain pours down and the [G]wind blows hard
Black [Am]flowers [G]grow in my [Am]yard[G][Am]
And when I lost my man down that [G]old coal shaft
I [Am]swear I heard the [E]devil laugh[E7]
The [Am]angels laughed and they [G]took my heart
Now black [Am]flowers [G]grow in my [Am]yard
And the [F]undertaker is a [C]busy man
He got a [Am]clean blue shirt, got [E]soft pink hands[E7]
Got a [Am]big driveway and a [G]brand new car
Black [Am]flowers [G]grow in my [Am]yard
And when the [F]baby cries, I sing [C]hush little one
But I [Am]swear that I'm gonna [E]come undone[E7]
'Cause when the [Am]rain pours down and the [G]wind blows hard
Black [Am]flowers [G]grow in my [Am]yard
Black flowers [G]grow in my [Am]yard
Black flowers [G]grow in my [Am]yard [G] [Am] [G] [Am]
