D                Bm
Every man has a black star
Bm                      G
A black star over his shoulder
D                        Bm
And when a man sees his black star
              G                  D
He knows his time, his time has come

Chorus:
D                              Bm
Black star don't shine on me, black star
D                           Bm
Black star keep behind me, black star
Em                                 Em 
There's a lot of livin' I gotta do
Em                                          Em 
Give me time to make a few dreams come true
       Bm
Black star

When I ride I feel that black star
That black star over my shoulder
So I ride in front of that black star
Never lookin' around, never lookin' around

Chorus

One fine day I'll see that black star
That black star over my shoulder
And when I see that old black star
I'll know my time, my time has come

Chorus
