Verse 2:
             Am             G                       Am
Well, it's a life worth the living but we all gotta die
         Am           G        Am
All your crying can't do me no good
     Dm                   G             Am
Just lower me down with a quick sad goodbye
G                       Am
Pour in the black Texas mud
G                       Am
Pour in the black Texas mud

Verse 3:
       Am               G                            Am
It's a hard road you're travelin', you can't walk it alone
Am     G                       Am
Find a big man to stand beside you
         Dm                 G           Am
Take him down to the river, show him my bones
         G                          Am
Tell him there lies a friend I once knew
G                          Am
There lies a friend I once knew

Verse 4:
          Am             G                           Am
Well, the black crow's a-screaming, the yellow sun's warm
        Am            G             Am
And the grass tumbles tall down the hill
         Dm                        G          Am
There's a cold wind building, it's bringin' a storm
         G                           Am
When the call of the black crow goes still
         G                           Am
When the call of the black crow goes still
