[Intro] D Em G - A D D [Verse]
  D                             Em
Hanging on a wall just like a thousand times you been there

    G            A              D
A picture of a field of dandelions

   D
And a young stud colt a-following

          Em
Some old cowboy on a broodmare

   G                A              D
a-bound to make it home by dinner time

   D
There's a thunderhead a-coming

         Em
From the west and he's sure thinking

     G                  A               D
The rain would do this dusty dirt some good

        D                             Em
But it ain't a cowboy's weather so he nudges his old faithful

     G               A               D
And turns around to call out to the stud
[Chorus]
 D       Em                D
Come on Willie, there's a black cloud coming yonder

     G               A                  D
The devil beats his wife with a silver chain

 D       Em          D
Come on Willie, boy can't you hear the thunder

      G               A              D
Your ma and me don't travel well in rain
[Verse 2]
     D
It ain't nothing much to look at

        Em
Just a print I got from grandma

   G               A             D
A real west river cowgirl in her day

     D
And sometimes I need religion

          Em
Since the old girl's gone before me

      G                A               D
And that's when I can hear the cowboy say
[Chorus]
 D       Em                D
Come on Willie, there's a black cloud coming yonder

     G               A                  D
The devil beats his wife with a silver chain

 D       Em          D
Come on Willie, boy can't you hear the thunder

      G               A              D
Your ma and me don't travel well in rain
[Verse 3]
 D                             Em
Now the western feelin' has become another sideshow

   G              A                D
a-selling out the bygone days gone by

        D
And we never know it's raining

         Em
We can't hear it for our thunder

          G              A               D
We can't see it for our clouds up in the sky
[Chorus]
 D       Em                D
Come on Willie, there's a black cloud coming yonder

     G               A                  D
The devil beats his wife with a silver chain

 D       Em          D
Come on Willie, boy can't you hear the thunder

      G               A              D
Your ma and me don't travel well in rain

      G               A              D
Your ma and me don't travel well in rain
