lyrics

Black Ice (c) Darryl John 2016

Intro: D-F-G-A x2

Verse 1:
(D) Speeding down the (F) highway
(G) In my real fast (A) car
(D) A gallon of (F) gasoline
(G) Won’t take me (A) far
(D) But I’m in a (F) hurry
(G) To get to my sweet (A) love
(D) Need to be (F) careful lest I’ll
(G) Meet the man (A) above

Chorus:
(Em) Black ice (A) on the ground
(Em) Black ice (A) all around
(Em) Black ice (A) up ahead
(G) Better slow down or you’ll end up (D) dead

Verse 2:
(D) Outside the (F) weather is
(G) Cold with a (A) frost
(D) Can’t waste a (F) minute no
(G) Time can be (A) lost
(D) What’s this a (F) coming on
(G) My side of the (A) road
(D) Sliding B (F) double
(G) Carrying a full (A) load

Chorus:
(Em) Black ice (A) on the ground
(Em) Black ice (A) all around
(Em) Black ice (A) up ahead
(G) Better slow down or you’ll end up (D) dead

Verse 3:
(D) There’s no point (F) breaking
(G) Or trying to (A) swerve
(D) Foot off the (F) throttle
(G) I’ve lost all my (A) nerve
(D) I tried to (F) turn
(G) But the tyres wouldn’t (A) grip
(D) Started to (F) panic
(G) Bite hard on my (A) lip

Chorus:
(Em) Black ice (A) on the ground
(Em) Black ice (A) all around
(Em) Black ice (A) up ahead
(G) Better slow down or you’ll end up (D) dead

Verse 4:
(D) Today wasn’t (F) the day
(G) That I would (A) die
(D) Flew off the (F) road
(G) As the truck skidded (A) by
(D) Stopped in a (F) ditch
(G) Couldn’t believe (A) my good luck
(D) How on Earth (F) did I
(G) Just miss that big (A) truck

Chorus: x2
(Em) Black ice (A) on the ground
(Em) Black ice (A) all around
(Em) Black ice (A) up ahead
(G) Better slow down or you’ll end up (D) dead
