VERSE:
 A
There was a black heart beatin` in a cowboy`s chest
     D
When the sun had cooked him through
     C           D
And the tracks were tears on a cigarette
     C    G   D
When the sky had opened up again
       C    G    A  A
Looked like midnight, it was noon.

CHORUS:
 A               D
Our true love`ll leave you on your knees in the rain.
   C        D        A
Our true love will leave you in the rain.

 A               D
Our true love`ll leave you on your knees in the rain.
   C        D        A  A A A A
Our true love will leave you in the rain.


VERSE:
 A
There was a black bird sittin` on top of the wire
     D
And the coal made the sky turn gray
      C        D
When the saints become the beggars
     G          D
And they live down among the fray
           G     A
And they dream of a golden day.


VERSE:
 A
There was a man on fire in the back of the church
            D
Who speaks in a sorry tone
 C
Not because his lover died
     D
But she left him all alone
  G          A  A
To sing with the holy stones.


CHORUS:
 A               D
Our true love`ll leave you on your knees in the rain.
   C        D        A
Our true love will leave you in the rain.

 A               D
Our true love`ll leave you on your knees in the rain.
   C        D        A  A A A A
Our true love will leave you in the rain.


VERSE:
C           G
I been breakin` down these ol` bones
    D             A
I been waitin` for the fever to break
 C          G
Does your house look like a home
      D         A
When it`s slidin` on into the lake?

 C      G
And when the darkness falls
        D            A
Oh, you`ll be ridin` on a southbound train
 C      G
And cut your coal to burn
   D           A
And fill your heart with flame


CHORUS:
 A               D
Our true love`ll leave you on your knees in the rain.
   C        D        A
Our true love will leave you in the rain.

 A               D
Our true love`ll leave you on your knees in the rain.
   C        D        A  A A A
Our true love will leave you in the rain.


OUTRO:
       A
There was a black heart beatin` in a cowboy`s chest
   D
If he even had a heart at all
   C        D
His mother died when he was born
   C     G     D
His daddy in a coal mine fall
     C      G     A
There`s blood on the coal mine wall
