♫ Verse 1:
            E                        A E
Well I sure take it with me wherever I go
        E                                 A    E
And you might like to see it but it never does show
       E                             A    E
Like a wind in the valley that never does blow
         E                           A   E
Like the grass in the back you never did mow

♫ Chorus:
       E                 A      E
It's a black sky formin' on the ridge
       E                      A      E
It's a woman waitin' standin' on the bridge
         E                              A      E
It's the price that you pay for walkin' on the ledge
     E*
It's everything you do and nothin' that you did

         E                                 A       E
Well you might see me drivin' in the wrong side of town
        E                                    A      E
And you might see me shinin' when the rain's comin' down
       E                                 A   E
Like a diamond that's hidin' in the lost and found
       E                              A    E
Like a coon that's runnin' from a red bone hound


♫ Chorus:
       E                 A      E
It's a black sky formin' on the ridge
       E                      A      E
It's a woman waitin' standin' on the bridge
         E                              A      E
It's the price that you pay for walkin' on the ledge

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

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


♫ Chorus:
       E                 A      E
It's a black sky formin' on the ridge
       E                      A      E
It's a woman waitin' standin' on the bridge
         E                              A      E
It's the price that you pay for walkin' on the ledge
