Capo: 3rd fret

[Verse 1]

Em
She puts on her work clothes
D
Fishnet pantyhose
Am
She’s got a nickname everybody knows
Em
At the gentlemen’s club
Em
She clocks in at midnight
D
Even though it never feels right
Am
She makes her money one dollar at a time

[Bridge 1]
C D
Without makeup, nobody knows her name
D
And she wears the pain

[Chorus 1]
Em G
Black tears, rolling down
D Am
From the eyes of an angel in a sinner’s town
Em G
She reveals, and they all cheer
D Am Em
Then she cries, black tears

D Am D Em

[Verse 2]
Em Em
Jealous of the innocent, sometimes she’s convinced
Am Em
The boss man is still a friend she needs
Em D
She’s tried everything, cheap sex and cocaine
Am Em
Anything to hide the pain for a little while

[Bridge 2]
C D
The wrong kind of famous in her momma’s eyes
D
You can tell she knows it when she cries

[Chorus 2]
Em G
Black tears, rolling down
D Am
From the eyes of an angel in a sinner’s town
Em G
White lights, on the mirror
D C
Just won’t hide, black tears

[Verse 3]
C D C
She tries and tries so hard to get away
D
But everybody’s watching

[Chorus 4]
Em G
Black tears, rolling down
D Am
From the eyes of an angel in a sinner’s town
Em
If all the pain
D G
Would just disappear
D
She’d quit cryin’
C
Yeah, she’d quit cryin’
Em D Am D Em
Black tears
