Trail of Tears Lyrics

(VERSE)
The sun hangs low in the western sky
I bow my head and remember now
Someone's lips pressed close to mine
Her cool hand upon my brow
Hell burns hot for a killer's heart
A shallow grave in an unmarked lot
Crack of gun; fire in the dark
hand in hand we'll walk at day break
(CHORUS)
One wore black, One wore black
One wore black
(VERSE)
The trail of tears is winding on
Many pass along the road
Dusty soldiers march along
as they file one by one
(CHORUS)
(VERSE)
The trail of tears is winding home
Frightened soldier unknown war
On and on with lovers gone
No one passes on the road
(BRIDGE)
(slower, single strum per chord)
Em(VII) G(x 10 9 7 8 7)
Two girls wait by the railroad track
D(V) C(III)
for their soldiers to come back
Em(VII) G(x 10 9 7 8 7)
knowing this will be their last
(gaining intensity)
one wore blue, and one wore black
(repeat and fade)
One wore black, One wore black...
