Black Flowers Lyrics

Lynn Miles Black Flowers

I live beside this (G)dark coal mine
The (Am)whistle blows every (E)day on time(E7)
When the (Am)rain pours down and the (G)wind blows hard
Black (Am)flowers (G)grow in my (Am)yard (G)(Am)

And when I (Am)lost my man down that (G)old coal shaft
I (Am)swear I heard the (E)devil laugh(E7)
The (Am)angels laughed and they (G)took my heart
Now black (Am)flowers (G)grow in my (Am)yard

And the (Fmaj7)undertaker is a (C)busy man
He got a (Am)clean blue shirt, got (E)soft pink hands(E7)
Got a (Am)big driveway and a (G)brand new car
Black (Am)flowers (G)grow in my (Am)yard

And when the (Fmaj7)baby cries, I sing (C)hush little one
But I (Am)swear that I'm gonna (E)come undone(E7)
Cause when the (Am)rain pours down and the (G)wind blows
hard
Black (Am)flowers (G)grow in my (Am)yard
Black flowers (G)grow in my (Am)yard
Black flowers (G)grow in my (Am)yard (G)(Am)(G)(Am)
