Song : A
Intro :
Am   Am   Am   Am  

Am                    Am            
Lower me down into the ground
        G  G           Am          
With 16 miles of chain
   Am                            Am           
To find a heart for the man I love
    Am          Am/B         C                C          
The one that wouldn't stray
C                                    C                  
Through the door to the Devil's store
            C                          E            E         
From the ashes, dark and staine
E                        E                  
He pulled out a new black heart
        E                  Am          
With 16  miles of chain
E7                 Am                Am

Instrumental :
Am           Am          
 
         Am                         Am                   
"Been waitin' for you a long time, girl"
    G          G         Am          
The heart began to say
   Am                  Am           
"A body freed is all I need
    Am        Am/B   C                C          
And I will never stray
           C                                C                 
Through wind and trees," It sang to me
    C          C2    E            E         
"In love we will remain"
         E                                  E                  
And I fell in love with that new black heart
    E                 Am          
And 16 miles of chain
E                 Am                Am   Am/B
16 miles of chain

I fell in love with that new black heart

And 16 miles of chain
