Verse 1
Well I sure [E]take it with me wherever [A]I [E]go
And you [E]might like to see it but it never [A]does [E]show
Like a [E]wind in the valley that never [A]does [E]blow
Like the [E]grass in the back you never [A]did [E]mow
Chorus
It's a [E]black sky formin' [A]on the [E]ridge
It's a [E]woman waitin' standin' [A]on the [E]bridge
It's the [E]price that you pay for walkin' [A]on the [E]ledge

It's everything you do and nothin' that you did

Well you [E]might see me drivin' in the wrong [A]side of [E]town
And you [E]might see me shinin' when the rain's [A]comin' [E]down

Well the [E]wood keeps burnin' in the old [A]wood [E]stove
And the [E]cows keep goin' where they done [A]been [E]drove
And a [E]light keeps glowin' in a dead [A]man's [E]cove
And a [E]loom keeps spinnin' where the weave [A]gets a [E]wove
