Crooked Road And The Briar
Composição de (Joey Burns)
Dm Bb Dm 

 Dm 
Down the crooked road a ways 
  Bb                             Dm 
A child's shadow hiding in the Briar 

F        Dm    F      Dm 
Tending to a twisted heart 
  Bb              Gm 
that's bent and broken 
  Bb          Gm 
wounded and abandoned 
 A7                      Dm 
left amongst the rotted root to rot 

Dm Bb Dm 

 Dm 
Moon, crimson moon 
 Bb                                    Dm 
Rose Marie's walking down the crooked road a ways 

F      Dm F                Dm 
All aglow, her fair white skin 
 Bb           Gm   Bb         Gm 
Portrait of beauty, angel to many 
 F         Dm F                  Dm 
Hears the hush crying from the briar 
 Bb             Gm Bb                  Gm 
Reaches in her hand to see what's the matter 
         C                  Gm 
and is dragged through the darkness 
   C                Gm 
beneath the lonely cypress 
     Bb             Gm 
The town's beloved daughter 
 Bb                                 Gm 
carried to her death in the turbid waters 
     A7               Dm 
and set afloat downstream 

Dm Bb Dm 

F            Dm  F               Dm 
Whole town erupts, bursts into flame 
 Bb           Gm                  Bb            Gm 
Parties go a-searching down the crooked road a ways 
 F        Dm           F          Dm 
Find old Rufus there drunk and asleep 
 Bb             Gm              Bb                 Gm 
Fishing by the water must have killed our beloved daughter 
 F                Dm F         Dm 
Can't hold back these waves of anger 
       Bb              Gm 
Tie a rope around his neck 
Bb               Gm 
See if he still hollers 
  A7                                  Dm 
Another innocent soul hangs over the briar
