Black Books — Nils Lofgren
Chords and lyrics for Black Books by Nils Lofgren (key of D).
Verse 1
[D] [G] [A] [Em]
[D]One last time from Freddy's joint
[G]We drove out to [D]lover's point
Shared our last kiss eye to [A]eye
[D]Spoke of tender times long past
[G]Said they weren't [D]meant to last
[Bm]Too many [A]different dreams to [D]satisfy
She wants
[G]New shoulders to cry on
[D]New backseats to [Bm]lie on
[D]And she always gets her [A]way
She wants to [D]see other guys
Get [G]lost in other [D]eyes
[E]Baby's in the [Bm]black books
[E]Yes she's in the [Bm]black books today[G]
[D] [G] [A] [Em]
I've [D]yet to find a dreary bar
Where [G]whispers don't drift [D]from afar
About her wild and wicked [A]ways
The [D]hardest truths don't have a why
[G]Often true love [G]will just die
[Bm]And leave a [A]grief to haunt
[G]The lonely nights and [D]days
She wants
[G]New shoulders to cry on
[D]New backseats to [Bm]lie on
[D]And she always gets her [A]way
She wants to [D]see other guys
Get [G]lost in other [D]eyes
[E]Baby's in the [Bm]black books
[E]Yes she's in the [Bm]black books today[G]
