Em B7 Add D for chorus
Black Horse and the Cherry Tree
My heart knows me better than I know myself
So I~Rm gonna let it do all the talking
I came across a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree
I felt a little fear upon my back
I said don~Rt look back just keep on walking
But the big black horse said look this way
He said ~Qhey lady will you marry me?~R
But I said no no
You~Rre not the one for me
My heart hit a problem in the early hours
So I stopped it dead for a beat or two
But I cut some cord and I shouldn~Rt have done it
And it won~Rt forgive me after all these years
So I sent to a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree
But it won~Rt come back coz it~Rs oh so happy
And now I~Rve got a hole for the world to see
It said no no
You~Rre not the one for me
Big black horse and a cherry tree
I can~Rt quite get there coz my heart forsaken me
"But it is inevitable that they will keep changing the doors on you,
because that is what they are for; and the thing is to get used to it
and not let it unsettle the mind. But that would mean not jumping,
and you can't. Nobody can not jump. There will be no not-jumping.
Among rats, perhaps, but among people never."
-E.B.White
