Black Bess chords by Jimmy Barnes, Kasey Chambers
Verse 1
G
Black bass and a white light
C
all covered in blue
G
Now she trips out on her cocaine
D
C
cause there's nothing to do
G
Since his man and his glam
D
C
were they up and shot through
G
You lose most your love
D
C
D
and win only a few
G
D
C
Time, Lord, it drags heavy on me
G
Sad evenings alone
D
C
and my thoughts are on sea
G
Fears are down here,
D
C
you seldom can see
G
D
C
D
You have an idea of what lonely can be
G
D
His delight at the sight of a worn apple skin
C
G
Goes with his hat in his hand
D
C
to the next rubbish bin
G
Consoled by the loan
D
C
that the bottle will bring
G
Means as much to his bid
D
C
D
as a throne to a king
G
Yes, there's a time, Lord,
D
C
that's heavy on me
G
Sad evenings are long
D
C
when my thoughts are on the sheet
G
And I fear that down here
D
C
you seldom can see
G
Do you have an idea
D
C
G
D
C
what lonely can be?
G
D
C
G
D
C
G
D
C
G
See with his eagle
D
C
on his own shadow fall
G
Or a caged man with his bare hands
D
C
run through a brick wall
G
D
C
For forty -five years his life he had shored
G
And he wakes up one morning
D
C
D
to find his life gone
G
D
Time, Lord, it drags heavy on me
C
G
Sad evenings alone
D
C
with my thoughts around you
G
And I feel it down here
D
C
you seldom can see
G
Do you have an idea
D
C
D
of what lonely can be?
G
D
Frankie's Vietnam was spent dodging lead
C
G
But eventually the enemy
D
C
blew off his head
G
His weight was a feather
D
C
as they carried him in
G
Only half of a friend sent
D
C
D
G
home in a tin
D
C
Time, Lord, attracts heavy on me
G
Sad evenings alone
D
when my thoughts are on she
C
G
And I fear that down here
D
C
you seldom can see
G
Do you have an idea
D
what loneliness can mean?
