Black Sheep Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
My [G]daddy was a brakeman
on a highball traveling train
My [G]mama she raised four little children
And the family had a good name
And [C]papa and mama wanted all for us
they never had
[G]Big brother, little brother and sister too
None of them turned out half bad
'Cept [D]me
I'm the black sheep of the fami[G]ly

[Verse 2]
[G]Big brother went to college
and became a doctor man
I [G]guess he makes about
a million dollars a year
Off of folks on insurance plan
He's got a [C]big long Mercedes Benz
and a house overlooking the town
He [G]sits in his Jacuzzi
and he watches the sun go down
And he [D]feels real sorry for me
I'm the black sheep of the fami[G]ly

[Chorus 1]
Yeah, I [C]drive me a big ol' semi truck
I'm makin' [G]payments on a two room shack
My [C]wife she waits on tables
and at [A]night she rubs my [D]back
And I [G]tell her what my papa
said to my mama
When he [C]got off a highball train
[G]Wake me up early,
be good to my dogs
and [D]teach my children to [G]pray

[Verse 3]
[G]Little sister married a banker,
yeah, he owns a country club
He [G]bought her a big ol' racing horse
and a funny lookin' little dog
He buys her [C]big rings and diamonds
and a brand new Japanese yacht
[G]They like to get together
and talk about all the things they've got
But [D]they never mention me
I'm the black sheep of the fami[G]ly

[Chorus 2]
Yeah, I [C]drive me a big ol' semi truck
I'm makin' [G]payments on a two room shack
My [C]wife she waits on tables
and at [A]night she rubs my [D]back
And I [G]tell her what my papa
said to my mama
When he [C]got off a highball train
[G]Wake me up early,
be good to my dogs
and [D]teach my children to [G]pray
I'm saying, woman
Wake me up early,
be good to my dogs
and [D]teach my children to [G]pray
