This song's been out for a while, obviously,
but I just recently dug it back out to let it break my heart again and decided to learn it.
Couldn't find chords anywhere online, so I had to figure it out myself.
(way to let me down internet D: )
Intro: D
D Old black hen is that you again Bm singing the bad luck lullaby D come right on in cause it's midnight again Bm time for the bad luck lullaby Em C you know the one it's the same one you sung Em G D A when you wrote down the revelation
Bm D A

D now sing it over the cradle of the child who's born next Bm the bad luck lullaby D leave all the truth in so they know what comes next Bm with the bad luck lullaby Em C leave in the true love that they'll never find Em G D A show how they're looking for it all of their lives
Bm D A
Bm D A
D when I saw the banner hanging over my door Bm and heard the bad luck lullaby D I already knew who the party was for Bm the bad luck lullaby Em C and all of my pain found a partner in that room Em G D A and the Devils tail swayed with the tune
Bm D A

D make that black record roll the tapes all night long Bm the bad luck lullaby D make that black record and we'll all sing along Bm to the bad luck lullaby Em C look down the long street and see who's that crying Em G D tell them that every day I lived I was trying A Bm to sing the blues the way I find them
