[D]
Well, death came to swagger walking out of the room, dragging three black ladies behind.
Just three worn dresses and a big black cape, [A] rolling over to a home in the [D] sky.
Said, are we gonna die?
We all gotta die.
What have we done?
We done nothing wrong.
[A] [D] Well, two [Dm] young [D] lovers entered into the damn death-bound [F] [D] jail in the house.
The young boy made a circle with a big black cape [A] around his lover, just to [D] lead them to cry.
Said, is she gonna die?
This wasn't her time.
What have I done?
Nothing wrong.
[A]
[D] Well, death got to heaven, the souls from the blood.
She was blinded by the evil tone of life.
You can't go swinging that new circle in the big [Ab] black [A] cape when you've been drinking through [D] the fine.
Said, am I gonna die?
We all gotta die.
What have I done?
Wrecked with the sun.
[A] [D]
Wrecked, I'm worn, and I can feel it, I'm sick of it.
Take your stones, I'm gonna steal the shine.
Now you can drink the fire water from the devil's lips.
[A] I'm gonna stand and get the sun and [D] the shine.
[E] [A] [D]
