\begin{verse}
|
|
|
|
|
\[C#m]Twenty days walking so lonely and talking
|
|
|
|
|
To my\[G#]self and the rocks and sand
|
|
|
|
|
\[C#m]Got me to thinking 'bout going and drinking
|
|
|
|
|
In a \[G#]tavern with a clean-sha\[C#m]ven man
|
|
|
|
|
\end{verse}

\begin{verse*}
|
|
|
|
|
Just when I thought all souls had been bought
|
|
|
|
|
By the devil here long ago
|
|
|
|
|
There did I see when I knelt to my knee
|
|
|
|
|
A little Texas flower grow
|
|
|
|
|
\end{verse*}

\begin{chorus}
|
|
|
|
|
\[C#m]Black-eyed Susan by the roadside blooming
|
|
|
|
|
All \[G#]yellow like sunshine, red like wine
|
|
|
|
|
\[C#m]Flower like you, in a desert this cruel
|
|
|
|
|
My-\[G#]my, you're a rare-rare \[C#m]find
|
|
|
|
|
\end{chorus}

\begin{verse}
|
|
|
|
|
Well, my newfound friend gave my heart a mend
|
|
|
|
|
I sang her songs of my wayward ways
|
|
|
|
|
As day turned to night in the crystal moonlight
|
|
|
|
|
I confirmed her unwavering gaze
|
|
|
|
|
\end{verse}

|
\begin{verse*}
|
|
|
|
|
As the days unraveled, I stayed in the gravel
|
|
|
|
|
And Susan kept her eye on me
|
|
|
|
|
With my eye on her, I felt my heart all astir
|
|
|
|
|
With the joy of camaraderie
|
|
|
|
|
\end{verse*}
