That's Why I Wear Black[+]

[Verse I:]
Gm                             #B        Gm
Now the highway's gone and the signs are bare
Gm                F       Gm 
and the bad winds blow no good
Gm                          #B Gm
And the roads aren't headed anywhere 
Gm            F            Gm 
like I always thought they would

[Chorus:]
#E                      #B                #E
Out in the fields, that cold rusted steel
#E             D
has jumped the track
D         Gm             #B     Gm  D
And there won't be no returning now
D                 Gm
that's why I wear black

[Verse II:]
In my mind there's a picture of Sally-Ann
She's the last, she was the first
Now she's dead or in the arms of another man
And I'm not so sure what's worse

[Chorus:]
Out in the fields, that cold rusted steel
has jumped the track
And there won't be no returning now
that's why I wear black

[Solos which is played over the chords of the verse and chorus]
      Gm                         #B       Gm
In my dreams there's a road that leads me home
Gm               F       Gm
In my dreams I'm turning back
Gm                              #B        Gm   D
But my dreams they fade and the chains remain
D                 Gm
That's why I wear black
