As recorded by Turnpike Troubadours (From the 2023 Album A CAT IN THE RAIN) [Intro] E A E [Verse 1]
E                                A      E
Well, I sure take it with me wherever I go

E                                    A          E
And you might like to see it, but it never does show

                                 A          E
Like the wind in the valley that never does blow

                               A         E
Like the grass in the back you never did mow
[Chorus]
E                A              E
It’s a black sky forming on the ridge

                     A               E
It’s a woman weeping standing on the bridge

                              A              E
It’s a price that you pay for walking on the ledge

E                                                  A E   A E
It’s everything you do with nothing that you did
[Verse 2]
E                                     A             E
Well, you might see me driving on the wrong side of town

                                      A           E
And you might see me shining when the rain’s come down

                                    A        E
Like a diamond that’s hiding in the lost and found

                                  A         E
Like a coon that’s running from a red-boned hound
[Chorus]
E                A              E
It’s a black sky forming on the ridge

                     A               E
It’s a woman weeping standing on the bridge

                              A              E
It’s a price that you pay for walking on the ledge

E
It’s everything you do with nothing that you did
[Harmonica Solo] E A E A E A E [Guitar Solo] E A E [Verse 3]
E                                   A        E
Well, the wood keeps burning in the old wood stove

                                  A        E
And the cows keep going where the dun been drove

                               A          E
And the light keeps glowing in dead man’s cove

                                      A         E
And the loom keeps spinning where the weep gets wove
[Chorus]
E                A              E
It’s a black sky forming on the ridge

                     A               E
It’s a woman weeping standing on the bridge

                              A              E
It’s a price that you pay for walking on the ledge

E
It’s everything you do with nothing that you did
[Outro] E A E A E
