[Intro]
(Woo Hoo, Woo Hoo)
(Woo Hoo, Woo Hoo)
Em B7 Em
[Verse 1]
N.C. (muted brisk strumming throughout singing)
Well my heart knows me better than I know myself
N.C.
So I'm gonna let it do all the talking.
Em B7 Em
N.C.
I came across a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree.
Em B7 Em
N.C.
I felt a little fear upon my back
He said "Don't look back, just keep on walking.
Em B7 Em
N.C.
When the big black horse said, "Look this way"
Said, "Hey, lady, will you marry me?"
Em B7 Em
[Chorus]
Em D D6 Cmaj7 Em
But I said no, no, no_____o, no-no-no
Em D C7 Em
I said no, no, you're not the one for me
Em D D6 Cmaj7
No, no, no-----o, no-no-no
Em D C7 Em
I said no, no, you're not the one for me
N.C. (some woohoo____ooo-ing)
[Verse 2]
N.C. (muted brisk strumming throughout singing)
And my heart hit a problem, in the early hours,
So I stopped it dead for a beat or two.
Em B7 Em
N.C.
But I cut some cord, and I shouldn't have done it,
And it won't forgive me after all these years
Em B7 Em
N.C.
So I sent it to a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree.
Em B7 Em
N.C.
Now it won't come back, 'cause it's oh so happy
And now I've got a hole for the world to see
Em B7 Em
[Chorus]
Em D Dmaj7 Cmaj7 Em
But I said no, no, no_____o, no-no-no
Em D C7 Em
I said no, no, you're not the one for me
Em D Dmaj7 Cmaj7
No, no, no-----o, no-no-no
Em D C7 Em
I said no, no, you're not the one for me
(sung acapella)
Em D D6 Cmaj7 Em
Said no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
C7 Em
You're not the one for me
Em D D6 Cmaj7 Em D C7
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
C7 Em
You're not the one for me
(do, do, do, do)
Em D D6 Cmaj7 Em
Big black horse and a cherry tree
Em D C7 Em
I can't quite get there 'cause my heart's forsaken me
Em D D6 Cmaj7 Em
Big black horse and a cherry tree
Em D C7 Em
I can't quite get there cause my heart's forsaken me
