       Em
I got lotsa jealous lovers that all wish they
had me back
Got a pistol for a mouth, my own mama gave me that
Makin' my own road outta gravel and some wine
And if I have to fall, then it won't be in your line

Everybody's doing it so why the hell should I
Everybody's doing it so why the hell should I

Chorus:
      Em
I'm a bad woman to keep
         C
Make me mad, I'm not here to please
A
Paint me in a corner but my colour comes back
Em
Once you go black, you never go back
       Em
I'm a black sheep
I'm a black sheep

I wasn't born a beauty queen but I'm okay with that
Maybe radio won't mind if I sing a little flat
I wear my boots to bed, hang a cross up on the wall
To save me from a shallow grave that wants
to take us all

Everybody's doing it so why the hell should I?
Everybody's doing it so why the hell should I?

Chorus:
      Em
I'm a bad woman to keep
         C
Make me mad, I'm not here to please
A
Paint me in a corner but my colour comes back
Em
Once you go black, you never go back
       Em
I'm a black sheep
        C
I'm a black sheep
        A
I'm a black sheep
       Em
I'm a black sheep

I got lotsa jealous lovers that all wish
they had me back
Got a pistol for a mouth, my own mama gave me that
Makin' my own road outta gravel and some wine
And if I have to fall, then it won't be
in your line

Chorus:
I'm a ba-a-a-ad woman to keep
Make me ma-a-a-ad, I'm not here to please
Paint me in a corner but my colour comes back
Once you go black, you never go back

Once you go black, you never go back
Once you go black, you never go back
Once you go black, you never go back
Once you go black, you never go back
