[A]
Little sister that's blood on her tracks
And [Am] her lit cigarette, [D] but she's not coming back
To [C] a town that was built [G] on black gold and iron [A] ore
And her cattle got boiled in a steam
And [D] you can't run away from the worst deal it means
[C] So scream you up when [G] you try to fall fast [A] asleep
She holds a black duster
Ah, [D] she never cried in the morning
She's [C] got a bottle in her favor [G] so she can forget [A] her name
She holds a black duster
[D] Ah, she never smiled in the morning
She's [C] got a bottle in her [G] favor so she can forget [A] her name
