A
[tab]D                   A
They were just good friends

     A
They been through every rodeo

         D                 A
And they rode on every old   train

        D
Blackie lived out her life

                                  A
Sortin' out lies other people had told to her

        A
And the Rodeo King was an Indian who

          D
Found the bottle

                              A
a better friend than any damn white man
[Verse 2]
        A
Through twenty years of fighting

         D                              A
With the bottle and the brahmas and the women

A
Blackie picked him up one night

D                       A
Laying face down in the gutter

             D
And with her heart on her sleeve and painted for the street

                       A
She knew that she must talk to him

        A
And the stories he told her were enough

           D
For him to hold her

                A
And her to hold on to him
[Verse 3]
A                    D
  They were countin' scars in one another

        D                                     A
As they watched the level of the bottle go on down

D
Blackie was a beauty, Lord

       D                            A
Though why she was was very hard to tell

        A
But the face the Lord put on us

          D                            A
Shows the actions of a heart that only love can fill

   A
So heart to heart they're living now

D                     A
