Note: This is a free-flowing song; the chords are all right, but where
exactly in the lyrics chord changes take place changes, depending on the
whim of the performer. Proper chord voicings, where uncommon, may be found
at the bottom.
Dm*
Get in the car we're late for the gig
CEAm
But don't go too fast it's been snowin' since 10 am
CEAm
We never will be this free again
Dm
Just over the bridge, crossin' the Gatineau
CEAm
To the side that I know where the light becomes strange
CEAm
And we'll never be this free again.
Dm
On our way home singin' the songs that we learned on our mother?s knee
CEAm
Four black sheep in need
CEAm
Tryin' or cryin' to be free.
DDsus4DAsus4AAsus4A
Jesse's been drinkin' again and again he won't believe, he can't believe
Asus4AAsus4AG
We can see right through his soul.
Dm
Mom and Dad are on their way, they know these roads
CEAm
They've been travelling a lonely life.
CEAm
Black sheep they too were born in the night.
Dm
And we'll meet at the lodge to suck on life as we look up at the sky
CEAm
that we don't feel the same.
CEAm
And we'll never be this free again.
F#mEsus4E
May walked away in the snow sayin' she was through.
F#m
And Frere Jacques would never want to ring the bell to tell us all
EsusE
We already knew
A* Bm*
That out there in the freezing night we will not be all right
A*
Four black sheep travellin' different speeds
Angry at the world
Losing their way in the cold blue snow.
E7*
Red on black on white - it glowed.
CEAm
We will never feel that free again.
CEAm
We will never feel that free again.
Em*
After the show back on the road to Montreal
DF#mBm
There were diamonds piercin' our eyes
DEBm
And the snow pilin' up on either side.
Em
Jesse took the wheel, there was an appeal to stop the ride
DF#mBm
but we were just four black sheep in the night.
DF#mBm
Tryin' to hold on for our lives.
Em
We never made it home - spinnin' out on the road
DF#mBm
We took to the sky where we were finally free for the last time.
DF#mBm
Flyin' high at the end of our lives.
DF#mBm
Four black sheep deep in the white light
DF#mBm
Red on black on white in the night
DF#mBm
I said red on black on white in the night
DF#mBm
I said red on black on white in the night
DF#mBm
Red on black on white in the night
DF#mBm
Red on black on white in the night?
