F C Dm Bb
Sittin in this lonely town wonderin when things are going to change
F C Dm
Dreamin my life away and it seems them dreams have
Bb
turned into a bunch of dust clouds
F C Dm Bb
Gettin my nerve up, but my past is pullin me down
F C Dm Bb
Wonderin how long this black sheep can stick around
F C Dm Bb F
Somebody told me once before you can never go home again once you leave
C Dm Bb
Say anything just to scare me away from the truth of
who I am and what I believe
C Dm Bb
So I thanked him for his two cents with a shake and some sympathy
F C Dm Bb
And I packed up my blue jeans and I headed for the big prize of my
freedom
[Chorus]
F C Dm Bb
Bye bye black sheep, black sheep of the family
F C Dm Bb
Bye bye black sheep how that means so much to me
F C Dm Bb
Bye bye to my friends and my family
F C Dm Bb
Bye bye black sheep goin off to set my soul, set it free
[Bridge]
G Bb
Times they were a changin, I did just a little re-arrangin
G Bb
Take a couple chances, my progress it advances
C F/C/Dm/Bb
To that prize of my freedom*
It’s written in the stars steel bars never will a prison cell make
Once I find that sweet home or a place I like to call home anyway
Some people will say I’m crazy singin out loud like I do here on the
street
When I got a song I sing it out loud and if you don’t like that my
friend,
Well I’m gonna say to you
[Chorus]
*{note: he holds this last note and the chords come in towards the end}
