True Black

[Verso 1]

As I walk side by side

Oh with the wicked and the righteous

        C 
I have tread the narrow path 
            F                    C 
And I have stumbled through the darkness 
         F                  C

          C 
And with all I might have cost you 
   G               C 
I hope to make it right 
 


[Verso 2]
 
        C 
I have listened many a year 
        F               C 
To the greatest I have known 
                 C 
Truth truer than any voices 
     G 
That I have ever heard 

          C 
So child give me your ears 
        F                   C 
And between them I'm gonna sew 
   F              C 
A crop of plenty that will fruit 
      G            C   F   C   F   C   F   C   F 
With every stolen word

[Verso 3]
 
        C 
I have been deep into the cave 
        F                  C 
I have pullled out many a stone 
 F                 C 
Common as John or shining bright 
         G 
Mine to carry and mine to hold 

        C 
I have pulled out the ragged people 
         F                  C 
And got too used to being alone 
 F                   C 
Shoulder to shoulder up to the light 
        G 
That's where I found my gold 
 

Outro: 
      C 
As I walk side by side

With the wicked and the righteous 
   F               C             G 
I wonder to which one of them I truly belong

I have tread the narrow path 
        F                    C 
I have stumbled through the darkness
