[Verse]
F C Dm Bb
Sittin in this lonely town wonderin when things are going to change
F C Dm
Dreamin my life away and it seems them dreams have
Bb
turned into a bunch of dust clouds
F C Dm Bb
Gettin my nerve up, but my past is pullin me down
F C Dm Eb7
Wonderin how long this black sheep can stick around
F C Dm Bb
Somebody told me once before you can never go home again once you
F C Dm Bb
leave. Say anything just to scare me away from the truth of who I am and what I
F C Dm Bb
believe. So I thanked him for his two cents with a shake and some sympathy
F C Dm Eb7
And I packed up my blue jeans and I headed for the big prize of my freedom
[Chorus]
F C Dm Bb
Bye bye black sheep, black sheep of the family
F C Dm Bb C
Bye bye black sheep how that means so much to me
F C Dm Bb
Bye bye to my friends and my family
F C Dm Eb7 E F
Bye bye black sheep goin off to set my soul, set it free
[Bridge]
G Bb
Times they were a changin, I did just a little re-arrangin
G Bb
Take a couple chances, my progress it advances
C C
To that prize of my freedom*
F C Dm Bb x2
[Verse 2]
F C Dm Bb
(spoken) It's written in the stars steel bars never will a prison cell make
F C Dm Bb
(spoken) Once I find that sweet home or a place I like to call home anyway
F C Dm Bb
Some people will say I'm crazy singin out loud like I do here on the street
F C Dm Eb7
When I got a song I sing it out loud and if you don't like that my friend,
Eb7
Well I'm gonna say
[Chorus]
F C Dm Bb
Bye bye black sheep / oh bye bye, oh bye bye, the black sheep of the family
F C Dm Bb
Bye bye black sheep / goodbye to my friends, and black sheep,
F C Dm Bb
Bye bye black sheep / you know you always means so much to me, so my friends, you've been my family
F C Dm Eb7 E F
Bye bye black sheep goin off to set my soul, set it free
