[Intro 1]
[G][D][Dsus4]
[G]The

[Verse 1]
pills you
kept beside your bed
[C]Were never enough to
ease [G]your mind
And the men who came then
[Bm]al ways le[Em]ft
Not all of them [D]treated you real kind
You tried [C]booze and God and cigarettes
But nothing could keep
you from [G]cry[C]ing[G]
[D]Black Ros[Dsus4]e of Texa[D]s
I hope you found some
peace this [G]time

[Verse 2]
[D][Dsus4]
[G]In the honky tonks and punk rock bars
Some[C]times it felt so [G]good to be alive
Doing the two- step across
the [D]hardwood floor
While [Em]telling some wild [G]boy white [D]lies
But the [C]music always had to stop
And you had to face the world [G]on your own
[D]Black Rose of Texas
I hope you found your [G]way home

[Verse 3]
Black Rose [Am]of Texas
[D]no one can say you didn't try[G][Em]
Black [Am]Rose [D]of Texas
I wish I could have said [G]goodbye

[Verse 4]
On a [G]train in Arizona
As the [C]morning sun
was burning in the [G]east
A long distance phone call
[Em]Woke me up f[G]rom my s[Dsus4]leep[D]
Then I [C]watched the desert
passing by
Replaying sweet and [G]sad memories
[D]Black Rose of Texas
Hope this time time
you're finally [G]free[C][G]
Black [Am]Rose of Texas

[Verse 5]
[D]no one can say you didn't try[G][Em]
