Black Jack Road

G                  C                  G                   C 
Two miles past the graveyard near the fork in Black Jack road 
G                        Em              C                D 
Charles Walker took one final look then slipped out the door 
G                 C        G                  C 
He left behind a letter addressed to all his kin 
G                                   Em               C             D 
?Said this land is cursed and it?d take a hearse to bring me home again 
 
    C       D 
And oh, oh, oh 
C            D                      G 
Oh, man you know those wheels turn slow 
 
 
The weeks turned into months and his mother lost all hope 
Then one day a postcard came to the house on Black Jack Road 
It was postmarked California, with one solitary line 
?Said I anticipate better days and I?ll send for you in time 
 
(repeat chorus) 
 
Back in California Charles Walker?s luck grew thin 
When he got involved in a poker game with three other desperate men 
Tempers flared and shots rang out, the three men ran away 
Charles Walker fell then someone yelled, "There?s an ambulance on the 
way" 
 
(repeat chorus) 
 
Two miles past the graveyard near the fork in Black Jack road 
A motorcade makes its way past the field where the tall weeds grow 
And in the back seat of a Cadillac, his head resting on his chest 
Charles Walker dreads what lies ahead, they?re going to lay his mama to rest 
 
(stop, and just strum chords once) 
       G                C           G              C 
And he prays for her forgiveness, then in a somber tone 
    G                     Em                      C               D 
He utters a curse to that long black hearse that finally brought him home 
 
(repeat chorus x2)
