[Intro]
Em D Am D-Em x2
[Strophe]
Em                          D 
She puts on her work clothes, fishnet pantyhose  
          Am                               Emes 
She's got a nickname everybody knows at the gentlemen's club  
Em                        D                                 Am 
She clocks in at midnight, even though it never feels right ai 
                               Emes 
Makes her money one dollar at a time u,- 
C                    D                   C 
Without the makeup, nobody knows her name  
                 D 
And she wears the pain 
[Refrain]
     Em             G 
Black tears, rolling down  
        D                     Am 
From the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town  
     Em                 G 
She reveals, and they all cheer  
        D    Am      Em 
Then she cries, black tears 
[Instrumentale]
D  Am  D-Em
[Strophe]
Em                      D 
Jealous of the innocent, sometimes she's convinced  
Am                                 Emes 
The boss man is still a friend she needs  
Em                     D 
She's tried everything, cheap sex and cocaine  
Am                              Em 
Anything to hide the pain for a little while  
C                              D             C 
The wrong kind of famous in her momma's eyes  
                             D 
You can tell she knows it when she cries 
[Refrain]
     Em             G 
Black tears, rolling down  
        D                     Am 
From the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town  
     Em            G 
White lights on the mirror  
          D    C 
Just won't hide, black tears  
C                     D                C 
She tries and tries so hard to get away  
               D 
But everybody's watching 
[Refrain]
     Em             G 
Black tears, rolling down  
        D                     Am 
From the eyes of an angel in a sinner's town  
          Em              D-G 
If all the pain would just disappear  
          D                      C 
She'd quit cryin', yeah she'd quit cryin'  
    Em     D  Am  D-Em 
Black tears
