[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
[Em] [D]

[C] [D]
[A]
Well, in her hometown, it was built by a greedy man
[D] People tell me she was descended from them
[G] She [C] was playing in the [Em] darkness
Ever since she [A] was a kid
And she doesn't mourn for her man coming [D] gone
She's worn the color of black all [C] along
But she was born [Em] with a stone wisdom [A] in her heart
She holds a black duster
[G] [D] Ah, she never cried in the morning
She's got [C] a bottle in her [Em] favor so she can forget her [A] name
[G] [A]
She holds a black duster
Ah, [D] she never cried in the morning
[C] She's got a bottle in her [Em] favor so she can [G] forget [A] her name
[D] Did you ever [A] meet a girl who was born [E] a victim of [A] her name?
[D] I never [A] met a boy who was [E] born a victim of [A] her name

Did you ever meet a [A] girl who was born [E] a victim of her [A] name?

I never [A] met a boy [G] who was born a [E] victim of [D] her name

That was [G] built on black gold and [A] iron ore
