Intro:
 D MajorD E minorEm G+G - A augmentedA D MajorD D MajorD

Verse:
 D MajorD               E minorEm
Hanging on a wall just like a thousand times you been there
  G+G      A augmentedA       D MajorD
A augmentedA picture of a field of dandelions
  D MajorD
And a young stud colt a-following
     E minorEm
Some old cowboy on a broom mare
  G+G        A augmentedA       D MajorD
a-bound to make it home by dinner time
  D MajorD
There's a thunderhead a-coming
     E minorEm
From the west and he's sure thinking
   G+G         A augmentedA        D MajorD
The rain would do this dusty dirt some good
    D MajorD               E minorEm
But it ain't a cowboys weather so he nudges his old faithful
   G+G        A augmentedA        D MajorD
And turns around to call out to the stud

Chorus:
 D MajorD    E minorEm        D MajorD
Come on Willie, there's a black cloud coming yonder
   G+G        A augmentedA         D MajorD
The devil beats his wife with a silver chain
 D MajorD    E minorEm     D MajorD
Come on Willie, boy can't you hear the thunder
   G+G        A augmentedA       D MajorD
Your ma and me don't travel well in rain

Verse 2:
   D MajorD
It ain't nothing much to look at
    E minorEm
Just a print I got from grandma
  G+G        A augmentedA       D MajorD
A augmentedA real west river cowgirl in her day
   D MajorD
And sometimes I need religion
     E minorEm
Since the old girl's gone before me
   G+G        A augmentedA        D MajorD
And that's when I can hear the cowboy say

Chorus:
 D MajorD    E minorEm        D MajorD
Come on Willie, there's a black cloud coming yonder
   G+G        A augmentedA         D MajorD
The devil beats his wife with a silver chain
 D MajorD    E minorEm     D MajorD
Come on Willie, boy can't you hear the thunder
   G+G        A augmentedA       D MajorD
Your ma and me don't travel well in rain

Verse 3:
 D MajorD               E minorEm
Now the western feelin' has become another sideshow
  G+G       A augmentedA        D MajorD
a-selling out the bygone days gone by
    D MajorD
And we never know it's raining
     E minorEm
We can't hear it for our thunder
     G+G       A augmentedA        D MajorD
We can't see it for our clouds up in the sky

Chorus:
 D MajorD    E minorEm        D MajorD
Come on Willie, there's a black cloud coming yonder
   G+G        A augmentedA         D MajorD
The devil beats his wife with a silver chain
 D MajorD    E minorEm     D MajorD
Come on Willie, boy can't you hear the thunder
   G+G        A augmentedA       D MajorD
Your ma and me don't travel well in rain
   G+G        A augmentedA       D MajorD
Your ma and me don't travel well in rain
