Black Widow Blues

        Em                     Am
I got a black widow spider for mama, Lord
      Am             C/G           E
Got a diamond-backed rattler for a pa
        Em                     Am
Well, I got me a woman down in New Or,leans
      Am        C/G    E
Got a friend in Arkansas
      Am              Em
Got a morning full of make believe
       Am              B7
Got an evening full of time

[Chorus]
             Em
I've got the hands, pretty lady
      Am
Gonna make you grieve
    Em           B7      E
The Lovin' gonna make you mine

[Verse]
      Em              Am
Ain't never seen your town before
      Am       C/G   E
And I won't be back again
  Em                 Am
I need me a place to hide my face
         Am      C/G    E
From the howlin' of the wind
  Em                         Am
I got the blues sewn into my jacket sleeve
      Am               B7
Got a goatskin full of wine

[Chorus]
             Em
I've got the hands, pretty lady
      Am
Gonna make you grieve
        Em           B7       E
And The Lovin' gonna make you mine

[Verse]
   Em                 Am
So light the lantern above your door
    Am        C/G      E
And hold your curtains wide
Em              Am
Take the ribbon from your hair
    Am        C/G  E
And lay it by your side
    Am                    Em
And I ain't looking for a lie to believe
   Am           B7
My own'll do me fine

[Chorus]
             Em
I've got the hands, pretty lady
      Am
Gonna make you grieve
    Em           B7       E
The Lovin' gonna make you mine
             Em
I've got the hands, pretty lady
      Am
Gonna make you grieve
    Em           B7       E
The Lovin' gonna make you mine
