Gretchen Peters - Black Ribbons INTRO: Am I built this house with my bare hands

On the ^Dshores of Louisian Took my sweet cher Jolie-^GAnn For my ^Amown, my very own

Now every man has got his pride

I tried to ^Dshelter and provide But I can't stop this poison ^Gtide Rolling ^Amin, rolling in

CHORUS:

Now I've ^Dnothing left to ^Amgive her No answer to her ^Dprayers Black ribbons on the ^Amwater Black ^Dribbons for her ^Amhair

Then came the wind, then came the rain

We de^Dfied that hurricane And we built this house a^Ggain Stone by ^Amstone, stone by stone

But in the gulf of Mexico

Some five ^Dthousand feet below Oh, the devil's blood it ^Gflows On and ^Amon, on and on

CHORUS:

I've ^Dnothing left to ^Amgive her No answer to her ^Dprayers Black ribbons on the ^Amwater Black ^Dribbons for her ^Amhair

INSTRUMENTAL: Am D Am D G Am Oh, how her eyes they used to shine

Fairest ^Din Evangeline Now they stare so cold and ^Gblind Through my ^Amsoul, oh lord, my soul

CHORUS:

She was ^Dtangled in the ^Amsalt-grass Not a bullet left to ^Dspare Black ribbons on the ^Amwater Black ^Dribbons for her ^Amhair Black ^Dribbons on the ^Amwater Black ^Dribbons for her ^Amhair

OUTRO: Am D Am D G Am (3x)
