Black Jack County Chains chords by Del Mccoury Band


Del Mccoury Band Chords

CAPO 3

 
D                     G                    D  
I was standin' by the road in Black Jack County.
D                    C      G       A
Not knowing that the Sheriff paid a bounty,
D                    C              G              A
For men like me who didn't have a penny to their name.
D                     G            D            A       D
He locked my legs in 35 pounds of Black Jack County Chain.

D              G                  D
All we had to eat was bread and water,
D                   C              G              A
Everyday we had to build his road a mile and a quarter,
D                         C                   G              A
A Black Snake Whip would sting our backs if some poor fool complained,  
 D                                  G            D             A     D
But we couldn't fight back wearing 35 pounds of Black Jack County Chain.

D                           G            D
Then one night while the Sheriff lay a sleepin',
D                C        G          A
We all gathered round him slowly creepin',
D               C              G                      A            
Heaven help me to forget that night in the cold cold rain
 D                                 G            D             A      D
When we beat him to death wearing 35 pounds of Black Jack County Chain

D                    G                 D
The wounds have all healed and I am thankful,
D                             C       G           A
And there's nothing left but scars around my ankle.
D                    C           G            A
But best of all no man will ever be a slave again,
D                          G            D            A     D
To a Black Snake Whip and 35 pounds of Black Jack County Chain.


D                   C             G          A           
But best of all no man will ever be a slave again,
