Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Dm]

[Verse 1]
[Dm]Get in the car we’re late for the gig
But don’t go too [C]fast it’s been
[Em]snowin’ since [Am]10 am
[C]We never will [Em]be this free a[Am]gain
Just over [Dm]the bridge,
crossin’ the Gatineau
To the side that [C]I know where the
[Em]light becomes [Am]strange
And [C]we’ll never [Em]be

[Interlude 1]
this free again.
[Am]

[Verse 2]
[Dm]On our way home singin’ the songs that
we learned on our mother’s knee
[C]Four black [Em]sheep [Am]in ne[C]ed[Em]
Tryin’ or cryin’ to be
free.
[Am]

[Verse 3]
[D]
Jesse’s been drinkin’ again and again [A]he won’t believe,
he can’t believe
We can see right through his [G]soul.[A]
[Dm]Mom and Dad are on their way,
they know these roads
[C]They’ve been travelling
[Bm]a lonely [Em]life.[Am]
Black [C]sheep they too were
[Em]born in the [Am]night.
And [Dm]we’ll meet at the lodge to suck on life as we
look up at the sky that [C]we [Em]don’t feel the [Am]same.
And [C]we’ll never [Em]be this
[Am]free again.[A][F#m]
May walked away in the snow
sayin’ she was through.
[E]

[Verse 4]
An[F#m]d Frere Jacques would never want
to ring the bell to tell us all
We already [E]knew
That [A]out there in the freezing
night we will not be all [Bm]right
[A]Four black sheep
travelin’ different speeds

[Verse 5]
[A]Angry at [F#m]the world[A]
Losing their way in the cold blue snow.
[E]Red on black on [F#m]white it glo[E]wed.
We will [C]never [Em]feel that [Am]free again.
We will [C]never [Em]feel that free again.
[Am]

[Verse 6]
After the [Em]show back on
the road to Montreal
There [D]were diamonds[F#m]
[Bm]piercin’ our eyes
And [D]the snow pil[F#m]in’ up on either [Bm]side.
[Em]Jesse took the wheel,
there was an appeal to stop the ride
but we were [D]just four black [F#m]sheep
in [Bm]the night.[D]

[Verse 7]
Tryin’ to hold [F#m]on for our[Bm] lives.
We nev[Em]er made it home,
spinnin’ out on the road
We took to the sky where we were [D]finally
free for the last [Bm]time.
Flyin’ high at the [D]end of our lives.
[F#m]Four black sheep [D]deep in the

[Verse 8]
[Bm]white light
Red [D]on black on white [F#m]in the[Bm] night
I said [D]red on black on [F#m]white in [Bm]the night
I said [D]red on black [Bm]on white
[D]in [F#m]the ni[Bm]ght
Red [D]on black [F#m]on white in [Bm]the night
Red [D]on black on [F#m]white [Bm]in the n[D]ight…
[F#m][D]

[Outro 1]
[Bm][D][F#m][Bm][D][Bm][D][A][Bm]
