The Old Black Hen

D D Old black hen is that you again Bm singing the bad luck lullaby D come right on in cause it's midnight again Bm time for the bad luck lullaby Em you know the one it's the same one you sung Em G D A when you wrote down the revelation Bm D A Bm D A D now sing it over the cradle of the child who's born next Bm the bad luck lullaby D leave all the truth in so they know what comes next Bm with the bad luck lullaby Em leave in the true love that they'll never find Em G D A show how they're looking for it all of their lives Bm D A Bm D A D when I saw the banner hanging over my door Bm and heard the bad luck lullaby D I already knew who the party was for Bm the bad luck lullaby Em and all of my pain found a partner in that room Em G D A and the Devils tail swayed with the tune Bm D A Bm D A instrumental verse, same chord progression as the others Bm D A Bm D A D make that black record roll the tapes all night long Bm the bad luck lullaby D make that black record and we'll all sing along Bm to the bad luck lullaby Em look down the long street and see who's that crying Em G tell them that every day I lived I was trying D A to sing the blues the way I find them Bm D A Bm D A
