Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

- x 2

She puts on her work clothes, fishnet pantyhose

  Emes

She's got a nickname everybody knows at the gentlemen's club

She clocks in at midnight, even though it never feels right ai

Emes

Makes her money one dollar at a time u,-

Without the makeup, nobody knows her name

 And she wears the pain

 Black tears, rolling down

 From the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town

 She reveals, and they all cheer

 Then she cries, black tears

Jealous of the innocent, sometimes she's convinced

Emes

The boss man is still a friend she needs

She's tried everything, cheap sex and cocaine

Anything to hide the pain for a little while

The wrong kind of famous in her momma's eyes

 You can tell she knows it when she cries

 Black tears, rolling down

 From the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town

 White lights on the mirror

 Just won't hide, black tears

She tries and tries so hard to get away

 But everybody's watching

 Black tears, rolling down

 From the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town

 If all the pain would just disappear

 She'd quit cryin', yeah she'd quit cryin'

 Black tears
