Black Dirt Lyrics

*None of the chords are written relative to a capo at 4*
I only used a capo 4 because I think the beginning is awkward to play
without one. I suggest you play the song with a capo at 4 for the
beginning, then right before the solo, throw off the capo.
You could leave it on, because the rest of the song
is played with barre chords above the 4th fret (and the solo doesn't
go below the 4th fret). Just make sure to ignore your capo,
then, as nothing is written relative to it.
Play Em/Eb: X6998X, the rest are standard barre chords.
If you want chords relative to a capo on 4, make these changes
Em=Cm, Gsus2=Ebsus2, Dsus2=Bbsus2, B=G, A=F, D=Bb, Em/Eb=Cm/B

here on the ground I can not hear a sound
just a strong steady rain getting louder as you sing
it may be true that I lied I broke a promise that I tried
but my heart no longer beats my blood makes black dirt under your feet
black dirt will stain your feet and when you walk you'll leave black
Em (picking)
dirt in the street
I could feel my face grow pa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ale
sick with fear my senses f-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ail
and as the life fades from my ey-ey-es I smile but don't know why-y-y
legs are growing to the heat of the su-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-un
and my heart no longer beats
black dirt will stain your feet and when you walk you'll leave black
dirt in the street
here on the ground I li-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ie
I cannot hear a sound as I di-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ie
it may be true that I lied broke a promise that I tried
but my heart no longer beats, when you kill you'll only leave
and my heart no longer beats
black dirt will stain your feet and when you walk you'll leave black
dirt in the street
black dirt will stain your feet and when you walk you'll leave black
dirt in the street
Em A repeat and end on Em
