Black River Killer
Blitzen Trapper
Key : C#m
Capo
[Verse 1]
---------------------
C#m G#m E B F#      C#m                          G#m
           It was just a little while past the Sunset Strip
     E                B           F#
They found the girl's body in an open pit
    C#m                              G#m
Her mouth was sewn shut, but her eyes  were still wide
E                  B          F#
Gazin' through the fog to the other side
     C#m                              G#m
They booked me on a whim and threw me deep in jail
             E        B           F#
With no bail, sitting silent on a rusty pail
     C#m                        G#m
Just gazin' at the marks on the opposite wall
  E             B           F#
Rememberin' the music of my lover's call, yeah

[Pre-Chorus (1)]
---------------------
C#m G#m E B F#       C#m                          G#m
           So, you make no mistake, I know just what it takes
          E          B         F#
To pull a man's soul back from Heaven's gates
          C#m                            G#m
I've been wanderin' in the dark about as long as sin
         E              B           F#
But they say it's never too late to start again

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
        C#m      G#m
Oh when,  oh when
         E            B                F#
Will the spirit come acallin' 'fore my soul descend?
        C#m      G#m
Oh when,  oh when
         E           B          F#
Will the keys to the kingdom be mine again?
C#m | G#m | E | B | F# | C#m | G#m 

[Verse 2]
---------------------
E B F#      C#m                       G#m
     It was dark as the grave, it was just about three
         E                  B        F#
When the warden with his key came to set me free
     C#m                        G#m
They gave me five dollars and a secondhand suit
  E            B         F#
A pistol and a hat and a wornout flute
     C#m                      G#m
So I took the bus down to the Rio Grande
      E          B           F#
And I shot a man down on the edge of town
       C#m                     G#m
Then I stole me a horse, and I rode it around
         E                 B      F#
'Til the sheriff pulled me in and sat me down

[Pre-Chorus (2)]
---------------------
              C#m                          G#m
He said, "You make no mistake, I know just what it takes
          E          B         F#
To pull a man's soul back from Heaven's gates
          C#m                            G#m
I've been wanderin' in the dark about as long as sin
         E              B           F#
But they say it's never too late to start again"



[Verse 3]
---------------------
E B F#         C#m                           G#m
     Well, the sheriff let me go with a knife  and a song
     E              B           F#
So I took the first train up to Oregon
      C#m                         G#m
And I killed the first man that I came upon
           E           B                      F#
'Cause the Devil works quick you know it don't take long
       C#m                      G#m
Then I went to the river for to take a swim
              E           B              F#
You know that Black River water, it's as black as sin
      C#m                      G#m
And I washed myself clean as a newborn babe
       E           B           F#
Then I picked up a rock for to sharpen my blade

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
   C#m          G#m
Oh when, oh when
         E            B                F#
Will the spirit come acallin' 'fore my soul descend?
        C#m      G#m
Oh when,  oh when
         E           B          F#
Will the keys to the kingdom be mine again?
        C#m      G#m
Oh when,  oh when
           E           B               F#
Well, that Black River water washed me clean again
        C#m      G#m
Oh when,  oh when
         E           B          F#
Will the keys to the kingdom be mine again?
