The Old Black Hen

D
Old Black Hen, is that you again?
            Bm
Singing the Bad Luck Lullaby
D
Come right on in, 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 worked on the Revelation

Bm D A  x2

            D
Now sing it over the cradle of the child who's born next
Bm
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 they never find
Em                              G                D  A
Show how they're looking for it all of their lives

Bm D A  x2

     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
Bad Luck Lullaby
Em                     C
All of my pain found a partner in that room
Em                      G               D   A
   And the devil's tail swayed with the tune

Bm D A  x2

D
Make that Black Record roll the tapes all night long
Bm
Bad Luck Lullaby
D
Make that Black Record and we'll all sing along
       Bm
To the Bad Luck Lullaby
Em
Look down the long street
    C
And see who's that crying
Em                         G
Tell them that every day I lived
      D      A                            Bm         D  A
I was trying   to sing the blues the way I find 'em

Bm D A  x2
