Four Black Sheep
Martha Wainwright
Note: This is a free-flowing song; the chords are all right, but where
exactly in the lyrics chord changes take place changes, depending on the
whim of the performer. Proper chord voicings, where uncommon, may be found
at the bottom.
Dm*
Get in the car we're late for the gig
But don't go too fast it's been sCnowin' sinceE 10Am am
We Cnever will Ebe this free agAmain
Just Dmover the bridge, crossin' the Gatineau
To the side that I Cknow where the Elight becomes stAmrange
And we'll Cnever Ebe this free aAmgain.
DmOn our way home singin' the songs that we learned on our mother’s knee
CFour black Esheep in nAmeed
CTryin' or crEyin' to be fAmree.
DJesse's been Dsus4drinkin' again and Dagain he Asus4won't Abelieve, he Asus4can't Abelieve
Asus4We can Asee Asus4right Athrough his Gsoul.
DmMom and Dad are on their way, they know these roads
They've been Ctravelling a Elonely Amlife.
CBlack sheep they too were bEorn in the nAmight.
And we'll Dmmeet at the lodge to suck on life as we look up at the sky
that Cwe don't Efeel the sAmame.
And we'll Cnever Ebe this free aAmgain.
F#mMay walked away in the snow sayin' she was Esus4throughE.
And F#mFrere Jacques would never want to ring the bell to tell us all
We already Esus4knew E
A* Bm*
That out there in the freezing night we will not be all right
A*
Four black sheep travellin' different speeds
Angry at the world
Losing their way in the cold blue snow.
E7*
Red on black on white - it glowed.
We will nevCer Efeel that free agaAmin.
We will nCever Efeel that free agaAmin.
Em*
After the show back on the road to Montreal
There were Ddiamonds F#mpiercin' our eBmyes
And the Dsnow pilin' Eup on either sBmide.
EmJesse took the wheel, there was an appeal to stop the ride
but we were Djust four black F#msheep in the Bmnight.
DTryin' to hoF#mld on for our Bmlives.
EmWe never made it home - spinnin' out on the road
We took to the sky where we were Dfinally F#mfree for the last tBmime.
DFlyin' high at the F#mend of our Bmlives.
DFour black sheep F#mdeep in the white Bmlight
DRed on black on F#mwhite in the Bmnight
I said Dred on black on F#mwhite in the nBmight
I said Dred on black on F#mwhite in the nBmight
DRed on black on F#mwhite in the nBmight
DRed on black on wF#mhite in the nBmight…
