DBmD
There's nothing sadder than an empty sidecar, a train with no engineer
DBmD
The cop in this town, he hates Elvis, he's hanging from my rearview mirror
G
But he never sees it, he's usually drinking beer
A
Leaves his patrol car parked down here
Chorus:
GD
In Black Diamond
AD
Where the mountains begin and end
GD
Black Diamond
AD
Never one to fit in
My neighbor is a veteran, he's got a doberman, he named her Hope
His pension's guaranteed, but he sells the kids weed and tells dirty jokes
My sister's in the beauty shop, wants to move on
She's tried to leave but she never stays gone
Chorus 2:
GDAD
Where the mountains begin and end
GD
Black Diamond
AD
Never one to fit in
GD
Black Diamond
AD
For a Rocky Mountain ring
GD
Oh Black Diamond
AD
I can hear em sing
Bridge:
A
It's too late now to start again
G
You always look smarter with your shirt tucked in
A
Caught between the tables and the jukebox
G
Between fireworks and let there be rock
Bm
Shooter nights and chicken wings
A
The kids around here will dance to anything
But there's nothing sadder than an empty sidecar, a train with no engineer
The cop in this town, he hates Elvis, he's hanging from my rearview mirror
Like the one eared wolf with a green dragon smile
Pour another shot I'm gonna be here awhile
Chorus 2
