This song's been out for a while, obviously,
but I just recently dug it back out to let it break my heart again and decided to learn it.
Couldn't find chords anywhere online, so I had to figure it out myself.
(way to let me down internet D: )

D
when I saw the banner hanging over my door
Bm
and heard the bad luck lullaby

and all of my pain found a partner in that room
Em G D A
and the Devils tail swayed with the tune

make that black record roll the tapes all night long

look down the long street and see who's that crying

tell them that every day I lived I was trying

to sing the blues the way I find them
