Black Legs Tab

by Red Krayola


\\\\Wonderful song by Mayo Thompson from his 1969 album "Corky's debt to his father".////

****As you will notice there are sometimes some strange lyrics written here, especially 
end of the chorus,**
***but that texan accent is too damn hard to understand for my french ears.*********
**So correct these lyrics yourself, and please excuse the mistakes.********

E               C#
your black legs fall beside me
E              C#
your hands are open lying
E                  C#
don't know how you do it baby
       A              E
but my mind is tied uptight


G#
and hoo baby
I have waited so long to
A              E
get to the end of this ladder
F#
somehow condition seem to be worse
B           D           B
here at the end of this verse

E               C#
I look in both directions you know these
E                    C#
dogs they bite at my heels
E        C#
you walk behind me baby
         A                 E
but your place is not back there

E               C#
if I fall on my face down girl
     E           C#
your blouse becomes my towel
  E                C#
I don't know how you did it baby
    A            E
but you now said tie me down

>>the end of the song is a mix between the solo and the intro, you can easily guess it.
